PREFATORY NOTE TO VOLUME 11.
In the preface to the first volume of this publication I expressed my regret at the delay
in bringing- before the world the results of our excavations which were completed in 1895.
I also regretted that we were obliged to issue the first volume before the completion of
the second. I then thought myself justified in announcing that the second volume would
" follow within a few months." Circumstances over which 1 have had no control have
extended this period of a few months to what will now in all probability exceed a
twelvemonth. As in the case of the first volume I deplore this, not only because it
has kept from the archaeological world the material which we have to ofEer for study, but
also because full justice cannot be done to my collaborators, especially to Dr. Hoppin
and Mr. Chase, whose work has been completed and in type for several years. Quite apart
from the question of priority with regard to the antiquities we have excavated as well
as the deductions we may have drawn from them, the work of my collaborators may
not be jnstly appreciated when considered in the light of more recent discoveries, — I
mean those that have been made since our excavations were completed. I have in mind
especially the important discoveries made in Crete, Melos, and the more recent excavations
of Thera. In any case, the complete and final publication of the work on those sites was
not available for our purposes ; while in the case of Crete, notably of Cnossos, the exca-
vations themselves have not been brought to a termination, and the material furnished
does not present itself in a form admitting of final conclusions and general deductions.
Still, it may not seem right that, covering as we do similar fields of inquiry to that of
recent work on other Aegean sites, we should not have considered at least the suggestions
which they offer in the elaboration of our own material ; and it may not be unfair to
criticise us for not having redistributed all the type set years ago and rewritten all that
had been written. But I venture to think that the scientific value of the archaeological
material which we here offer in our publication, and even of the conclusions which we
have drawn from the study of them, is increased by the fact that in our study we have
confined ourselves to what was actually before us in our own material, and to the defi-
nitely published results of the work that had preceded us. Whether our results as
here published are confirmed, rejected, or modified by those of future excavators and
inquirers, our exposition can but gain in its claim to trustworthiness from not having
been biased by premature side-glances at the foreshadowed results of contemporary exca-
vation ; while those who must elaborate the discoveries made since our own will be able
to make the better use of ours in their independent presentation, even if this use should
be to controvert our conclusions.
A similar explanation may be called for with regard to the fact that we have not
viii PREFATORY NOTE
considered the work done since our excavations were completed on wider questions of
historic and prehistoric archaeology, in which our own material must find a place as
evidence. These include especially the wide and complicated prohlems of the earliest
ethnology of the ancient world, together with the greatly expanded study of Hellenic and
primitive mythology. The whole question of the Mycenaean age and the periods that
preceded and followed it has entered a new phase, owing to the remarkahle work done hy
such writers as Professor Ridgeway and Dr. J. G. Frazer, and to the cognate discoveries
and inquiries of explorers and scholars like Professor Flinders Petrie. I have been
du-ectly criticised for not having, in my General Introduction in the first volume, clearly
taken sides on the main issues raised by such important inquiries. Dr. Rouse, in his
review of our first volume,* says : " Dr. Waldstein has not thought well to examine the
bearing of this book (Professor Ridgeway's Early Age of Greece) on his Introduction,
part of which might have been modified by it. He does indeed mention Professor
Ridgeway in a footnote, not without approval ; but there was time to have formed a
more definite opinion than he gives on the new theories, whether to accept them or to
reject." Now, all that I have urged above regarding the undesirability of entering into
wider inquiry beyond the range of our own material in this publication applies still more
emphatically to the questions raised by Professor Ridgeway's bold and far-reaching work.
I wish in no way to discourage this stirring expansion of the study of classical antiquity
into wider spheres, where it establishes its immediate relationship to general ethnology, —
nay, to anthropology. The day may come when all our views of the early history of
man, including the peoples of Ancient Greece and Rome, will present a picture containing
a full and organic composition instead of the smaller groups and single portraits which
we now have before us ; and when the whole image of the past in the eyes of our poster-
ity may gain in truth and even in clearness. But to my mind this day has not yet come ;
because the material for such wider generalization, which we may reasonably hope for in
the future, is not yet to hand. Excavations, not only in Egypt, in Assyria, in the whole of
Asia Minor, in the northern portions of Ancient Greece, in the islands of the Aegean, in
Sicily and in Italy, but also in many other centres of Europe and other parts of the world,
will have to yield their treasures of the past, before a great genius, happily arising, is
prepared to fuse the disjointed ingots of evidence together, at the slow and steady fire of
sober yet imaginative induction, into the great and malleable bar of precious metal out
of which the monumental forms of truth are forged and cast. In the mean while, how-
ever, truth is advanced by a select few who form legitimate scientific hypotheses in
presenting theories by means of which, for the time being, we can in some way grapple
with the vast mass of material before us. But in presenting the results of our excava-
tions of one site, and in drawing our conclusions from the material before us, we are
emphatically not called upon to take sides on problems of much wider issue, the solution
of which may ultimately be furnished by our facts and our exposition.^

Still, since the first volume was published, the final and official publication of Troja
and Hlon has been issued . by Dr. Diirpfeld and his collaborators. Furthermore, the
work done and the wonderful results attained by Dr. A. J. Evans and his colleagues in
Cnossos of Crete, as well as that of Professor Halbherr and his colleagues at Phaestos,
though the excavations are not completed, have led to preliminary publications in which
final conclusions have in some instances been drawn which bear directly upon essential
points of our discoveries at the Argive Heraeum. As the conclusions thus arrived at by
the excavators of Cnossos seem to militate against my main contention with regard to the
Argive Heraeum, I feel that I must in a few words touch upon this question, even at the
risk of being premature.
I claimed preeminent importance for the Argive Heraeum, because, as compared with
sites like Troy and other early " classical sites " including Crete, it was one about which
there could be no doubt in regard to its intrinsic association from the earliest times with
what is to us Hellenic life ; while, on the other hand, in contradistinction to Tiryns and
Mycenae, which only present definite periods in the development of Hellenism, the Argive
Heraeum was continuously, in all ages about which we know anything, an important
centre of that life. I maintained, and I still maintain, that our excavations have yielded
material giving undeniable proof that this site was occupied in what is commonly called
the Neolithic period. By an oversight the first volume contained no illustrations of
stone implements found in our excavations. I wish here to supplement this deficiency
by inserting specimens of such Neohthic articles of use.
Stone Implements from the Argive Heraeum.
From the Neolithic age onward there is abundant evidence of a continuous occupation
of that site, be it as a citadel or as a temple, down to Roman times. I wish here to
emphasize more strongly than I have done in the first volume that the earUest walls and
dwellings, together with the stone unplements, confirm the tradition which I maintained *
from him. Any suggestion I received from him has been
duly acknowledged ; just as he has acknowledged, both in
his article in the Hellenic Journal in 1896, as well as in
bis book, the cases in which I enabled him to consider
some of our material before publication. We are nei-
ther of us responsible for the other's views and conclu-
sions.

X PREFATORY NOTE
is given in Bacchylides (xi. 43-84), that the site of the Temple of Hera was also that
of the Pre-Proetean citadel of Argos. On every side there is thus evidence of a Pre-
Mycenaeau civilization at the Heraeum ; and in tradition, monuments, and minor works
we have there an illustration of the systematic origin and organic growth and develop-
ment of the Mycenaean civilization and the periods following it. No doubt there is evi-
dence (which moreover we should a priori expect) of waves of foreign influence. But
the main current of civilization leading up to the Mycenaean age, through it and beyond
it, is central and continuous on the site of the Argive Heraeum. As far as our evidence
goes, there is no reason for assuming that the Mycenaean civihzation came to the Argolid
from without, and that it was not continuously developed in that centre of ancient life.
Now, the conclusions which Dr. Evans has drawn from his Cnossian discoveries tend
to make Crete the earliest focus of Mycenaean civilization from which it radiated to other
parts of the world, including Greece Proper. Mr. Mackenzie, moreover, in a very ingen-
ious and able article* has endeavored to prove this definitely by the evidence of the vases
foiuid at Cnossos. He maintains that the evolution of the Mycenaean ceramic style
out of the Kamares ware, which again is evolved from Cretan Neolithic ware, is to be
found in Crete. He further maintains that from Crete it found its way into the Argolid
and the other parts of the ancient world. In short, it is maintained that Crete is '• the
cradle of the Mycenaean, and hence of Hellenic, civilization."
This seems to me improbable. Moreover, if it were true, my own conclusions with
regard to the position of the Argive Heraeum woidd be unfounded. In spite of the
prematureness of any attempt to arrive at a final decision on the nature of the Cnossian
excavations while they are not yet completed, and before the objects there found have
been subjected to a thorough examination in their completeness, I wish, in view of the
partial publication of such conclusions on the part of the excavators, to enumerate briefly
my doubts, and to commend them to the consideration of the Cretan explorers.
On the one hand, I do not doubt of the ample evidence as to the early settlement of
the Cnossian and other Cretan sites in the Neolithic period, and I view favorably Dr.
Evans's suggestion of a chronology reaching back much farther than we have hitherto
been wont to conceive, namely, well into the third and even the fourth milleunia b. c.
As Dr. Diirpfeld has admitted, the earliest layers of Hissarlik distinctly point to such
remote ages ; and I have always expressed my belief that we should have to go much
farther back when looking for the beginnings of early Greek civilization.
But, on the other hand, we are informed that the objects on the Cnossian site end
with the Mycenaean period, that there are no objects belonging to a later date found
there, and that therefore the life they reflect antedates that of the sites in Greece Proper,
and that the Mycenaean civilization found in the latter is derived from Crete.
It is now some years ago ^ since I expressed the view that it is a mistake to believe
that the Mycenaean and Geometric fonns of art production ceased in all parts of Greece
at the same time, and were superseded in the same period by the archaic forms of

PREFATORY NOTE xi
distinctly " Hellenic " character. It then appeared to me that, especially in ceramic art,
the familiar polychrome, black-figured and red-figured vases never became the indigenous
manufacture of certain portions of the ancient world ; but that the Mycenaean and the
Geometric forms of ornamentation as well as the so-called " Proto-Corinthian " (our later
Argive-Linear) maintained themselves long into the histoiic period. Of this survival, this
persistency of earlier styles, Crete seems to me a most probable instance. Though the
Cnossian city reach far back into the remotest antiquity, and nothing later than Mycenaean
ware has as yet been found there, we must at least await the completion of those excava-
tions and those of other Cretan sites before we exclude the possibility, nay, the probability,
that the latest of the " Mycenaean " remains at Cnossos reach far down to the gates of
the historic Greek periods when elsewhere in the Hellenic world other Hellenic forms
had been developed. The grounds for my doubt in the face of the mass of evidence
which is even now adduced by the Cnossian excavators are based upon the intrinsic char-
acter of this evidence itself.
To begin with the more general point of view (though I cannot enter upon a minute
critical estimate of the ethnological " evidence "), the confused tangle of ancient tradition
concerning the early inhabitants of ancient Crete, — the Eteocretans, Pelasgians, Achaeans,
Dorians, the Carians, Leleges, and their relation to the Lycians, — does not point to a
unity of organization and civilization which could have produced the Mycenaean style
foreshadowing the typically Hellenic art.
Moreover, I cannot feel that the literary traditions concerning the Minoan Cycle in any
way warrant us in assigning a central position to it in the formation of Hellenic tradi-
tion. In its relation to the established and predominant body of earliest tradition it par-
takes of what I should hke to call an " episodical " character. We can conceive of the
organism of Hellenic myth and heroology retaining its organic character if this cycle
were expunged. An intimate connection with Greece Proper, so as to suggest an essen-
tial influence in the form of civilization, is not manifest, certainly not as regards the
Argolid. The only real point of union in this sphere is with Attica in the Thesean story ;
and here it is of a passing nature, indicating a war which implied no conquest or lasting
occupation of the country. On the contrary, the balance of evidence in the tradition of
Daidalos points, as regards art and style, rather to an influence from the mainland (in
this case Attica) upon Crete, than from Crete on Greece Proper. This is quite different
from the wave of influence which we can clearly trace in sculpture in the Daedalids, the
so-called Ionian period, when we are at the very gates of the Historic period.^ In fact,
I cannot help feeling that the Minoan and Thesean tradition is comparatively late, as the
complex elaboration of the tradition concerning the life and deeds of Theseus and his
worship bears traces of contamination and points to a late date compared with the body
of Greek myths and heroology.
There was one period when the influence of Crete upon the mainland of Greece was

xii PREFATORY NOTE
paramoiuit, when accordingly the life in Crete, especially at Cnossos, must have been
most thriving and have manifested itself in active art-production. This is the period
which in the history of sculpture we call the Ionian period : when the craft of making
teraple-stiitues, the profession of the dyaX/xaTo;roio'? was really estiiblished and introduced
from these centres into Greece Proper. According to the literary traditions the chief
centres whence this art sprung were Crete, Chios, and Samos. The activity of these
schools of sculptors, immediately derived from Daidalos (in my opinion the historical
Daidalos), and the most effective transmitters of this skill, were the Cretan Daidalidae,
Dipoinos and Skyllis. These we can trace in their journeys through the Greek continent
engrafting their craft at Sicyon, through the Peloponnesus, and as far north as the
Aetolian Ambracia. Is it not startling to find that of this period, corresponding to the
orientalizing wave in ceramic art in Greece, concerning which we have undoubted evi-
dence as to the predominant position of Crete, not a single trace should have been found,
especially in such centres as Cnossos ? Is this conceivable ? Are we not justified in ask-
ing for some reasonable explanation of such a singidar phenomenon ? And may I not
suggest that, however early some of the Cnossian remains and the earliest building
may be, some parts of the palace, especially its plastic decoration in stucco as well as some
of the wall-painting, belong to this later historical period ? We need not expect to find
"archaic Greek" objects there, unless they were imported; but the native orientalizing
style, which presents a continuous survival of the Cretan-Mycenaean art down to these
later historical times, we can expect.^
But let us turn to the more specifically archaeological evidence.
(1) The architecture of Cnossos in its " Minoan " periods appears to me to be of a
distinctly later date than the Cyclopean structures of Tiryns and of those parts of the
Heraeum of the " Tirynthian " period — a fortiori the earlier walls of more primitive
settlements. If the Cnossian walls correspond most closely to the sixth layer of Hissarlik-
Troy, it stands to reason that the earliest Heraeum walls, which correspond to the first,
second, and third layers of Hissarlik, are distinctly earlier. The walls of the Heraeum
present a continuous development from these primitive beginnings through all ages to
the later Roman period, and thus admit of no break or hiatus.**
' Since I wrote the above, my attention has been drawn fact ? The date of the " later Greek alphabet " we do
to a passage which I overlooked in Mr. Evans's Report know. Do not these later Greek objects speak rather
on the Excavations of the Palace of Knossos in the Annual in favor of my view, that the Mycenaean style survived

(2) Though the Terra-Cotta figurines from Cnossos have not yet been published sys-
tematically, occasional publications have given enough to show that they do not present
that full and organic development which Mr. Chase and I have endeavored to demon-
strate in this publication. None of the specimens from Crete which I have since seen
represent the earliest beginnings as illustrated by our first and second class ; nor do they
show the continuity of development of our Tirynthian-Argive class out of its primitive
beginnings. The causes for regret at the delay in our publication are exemplified by the
fact that in the excellent publication of ancient Terra-Cottas just issued by Dr. Winter *
he should have had to rely for the choice of his terra-cottas from the Heraeum upon my
preliminary publication of our first year's work pubHshed in 1892, and that he has thus
been unable to use for his general exposition the richest find of such objects, represent-
ing the most varied classes and presenting instances of such continuous development.
In view of what I had put in the first volume ^ on the nature of the typically Mycenaean
terra-cottas and their " ceramic " style, he could hardly have given to them a position
earlier than our Tirynthian-Argive, still less than our primitive class.^
(3) As regards the pottery from Cnossos, we are already in possession of much fuller
publication ; and quite recently Mr. Duncan Mackenzie * in a very thoughtful and able
article has made an attempt to give a systematic account of the evolution of Cretan
pottery. The discovery of Mr. J. L. Myres established the fact that the pottery to which
he gave the name Kamares ware is peculiar to, and characteristic of, Crete. Mr. Mac-
kenzie has in a conclusive manner shown how the earliest form of this Kamares ware is
immediately developed out of the primitive Neolithic pottery with incised patterns. Upon
this follows a class of " early Minoan " ware which, according to him, is the precursor of
the Mycenaean ware, out of which, in fact, he maintains the Mycenaean style grew. But
this Minoan class presents two different, if not antagonistic, groups : the one monochrome,
the other polychrome in its decoration. On his own showing (p. 171) the polychrome
was the more favorite style of the two. Now he maintains that these two groups contend
with one another, as it were, mingle their influence, the monochrome ultimately winning
the day, and that the final result is the establishment of the Mycenaean style.
It is on this most important point with regard to the evolution of the Mycenaean style
that Mr. Mackenzie's arguments have failed to convince me. For the whole nature of
this polychrome style in the Kamares as well as in the Cretan-Mycenaean ware is to my
ment (contrasted with the "Greek" element) in the by Mr. Chase, containing the objects from a tholes tomb
Mycenaean style of Crete would correspond exactly to at Mycenae in which a Heraeum terra-cotta of our second
what I maintain below characterizes the Cretan pottery (Argive-Tirynthian) class was found, to prove that even
of the Mycenaean age. our second class can at least not be later than the Myce-

mind a most characteristic ilifferentiation of Cretan pottery ; one, moreover, which also
differentiates it from the essential characteristics of the Mycenaean style as presented to ns
in the representjitive vases from the mainland of Greece and other sites. The very first
specimens of Mycenaean vases foimd in Crete which were shown to me some time ago
gave me the impression that they had local characteristics mixed up with the Mycenaean
style which distinguished them from the general run of Mycenaean ware, and which I con-
sider foreign to the main feature of Mycenaean ware, in some sense antagonistic to it. For
want of a better word I should describe this differential characteristic as " orientalizing."
I mean by that term those featiu-es of decoration which are found m a much later age,
namely, the " orientalizing " period as illustrated in the Corinthian vases preceding the
development of the archaic black-figured vases which are more purely Greek in style.
The distinctive decorative features of this " orientalizing " style are a tendency towards
the polychrome or piebald in color and towards a redundancy of ornaments in design.
Plate XII. vol. XXII. of the Journal of Hellenic Studies will illustrate my meaning. The
bronze age vase (No. 1 in the middle) from Zakro is in shape and general ornamen-
tation distinctly Mycenaean. But the manner in which the partly naturalistic and other
ornaments have been scattered about the whole body and neck of the vase (with a redun-
dancy which has led German archaeologists to talk of such as " Filllornamente ") is
foreign to the essential characteristics of the pure Mycenaean vase and style. Yet we
must not be astonished to find this characteristic in a Mycenaean vase from Crete when it
is manifestly already the leading characteristic of the " early Minoan " style, the precursor
of the Mycenaean period, in that island. The primitive Cretan painted vases published
by Messrs. Hogarth and Welsh in 1901 ^ with the polychrome and characteristic Kamares
vases given on Plates VI. and VII. will illustrate this more fully ; while the polychrome
cups Nos. 1 and 2 on Plate VI. of Mr. Mackenzie's article will most strikingly illustrate
the principle of the " Fiillornamente" at the early stage of Cretan ware preceding the
Mycenaean period. Thus, through a careful and sober study of the style in the Cretan
remains themselves, without the intrusion of any further theory, I cannot feel on the one
hand that this polychrome style could ever lead to the Mycenaean style, and, on the other
hand, that the distinctive characteristics which it embodies could ever be entirely expunged
from the ware manufactured in Crete at any period of its production. It is to be found
in the Mycenaean ware of distinctly Cretan origin, and, in some form or other, the devel-
oped Kamares ware manifests a similar character. It is a significant and interesting fact
that the place where these characteristics of Cretan style manifest themselves in a strong
survival most clearly in a far later period is Naucratis, where we find the main features
of the Kamares ware in the ornamentation of the interior of the characteristic Naucratite
pottery.
With the evidence furnished up to this moment before us, it seems to me more probable
that the active influence which won the day in Crete for the monochrome decoration
contending with the polychrome style was the introduction of pure Mycenaean patterns
1 /. H. S. 1901, pp. 78 S.
PREFATORY NOTE xv
which probably came into Crete from elsewhere, and which were never assimilated in their
complete purity of character. This course in the history of ceramic decoration seems to
me more probable than that the elements of the Mycenaean style were engrafted from
Crete upon the ware of those centres, notably the Argohd, where the Mycenaean style has
hitherto been supposed to have had its native home. As far as the Heraeum is concerned,
there appears to me to be no room for Mr. Mackenzie's hypothesis. For we have there,
as 1 have endeavored to trace it,' a continuous and organic development from the incised
and early painted ornamentation of the Neolithic ware, through the dull-colored linear
ornament with free-hand drawing of the early Mycenaean ware, to the fully developed
forms of that style ; and it appears to me that, out of the principle of free-hand drawing
with spirals and curved lines and waved patterns in the dull-colored vases, the natural-
istic ornament of the period of advanced ceramic art in the Mycenaean age naturally
follows. There is no room in the chain of development for the intrusion of the peculiar
early Minoan vase.
One important point Mr. Mackenzie has succeeded in making highly probable, namely,
that the use of glaze-color in vase decoration, which is to be found at the very earliest
period in Crete, may have originated there, and may have spread thence to other parts
of the Mycenaean area. This is most probable in view of the large nimibers of such
specimens found in Crete ; though all sites of the ancient world have not yet been exca-
vated. But the introduction of such a technical innovation is readily made from one part
of the world into another ; not so the introduction of a characteristic style. The isolated
specimens of distinctively Cretan Mycenaean ware which have been found in other parts of
the Mycenaean world do not justify the conclusion of such a predominant influence on the
part of the Cretan style, when we consider the paucity of these isolated specimens in
their proportion to the pure Mycenaean ware found in the Argolid and elsewhere. We
must wait for a careful differentiation between the peculiar Mycenaean ware found in Crete
and the ware which is purely Mycenaean and corresponds to the predominant class of
Mycenaean vases found in the Argohd, and, comparing their relative nimibers, we must
then ask whether there is not actual evidence which makes it probable that a great
quantity of Mycenaean ware may have been imported into Crete from the Argolid. I may
finally add that the evidence from Troy confirms me in this supposition ; for we there
find a pronounced and distinctive form of primitive ware with its characteristic material,
shape, and ornaments ; while the advent of the Mycenaean style in the sixth layer is
foreshadowed in the adoption of spiral ornaments in the previous layer, which, though
incised in the predominant system of Trojan vases, manifests a decorative feeling intro-
duced and adopted from elsewhere. Dr. Dorpfeld says of these ornaments : ^ " Ebenso
neu, aber nicht eigentlich troisch, sind die eingetieften Spiralen, welche in der Zeit der
dritten Periode aufkommen." These designs correspond to the usual ornaments as we
find them on the earliest dull-colored vases in the beginning of the Mycenaean period.
These remarks on the Cretan question in its relation to our discoveries may, as I have

x^n PREFATORY NOTE
siiid brfore, be premature, and I am quite ready to retract the statements here made when
fuller evidence warrants such a change. But as it was not proper to ignore the brilliant
results and the excellent work of the Cretan excavators while presenting this volume to
the public, it was not possible to consider them without giving such a critical estimate
of the bearings of their work upon ours.
In the preface to the first volume I announced that " the principle which I followed in
this publication was to allow each member intrusted with a department as much inde-
pendence as possible ; " and that " I have not stood in the way of exjjression of well-
founded individual opinion for which each collaborator deserves the credit and retains the
responsibility." This clearly applies to Dr. Hoppin's conscientious publication of the
Vases. It will be seen from his own statement that there is a point on which we differ,
namely, the question of the Argive-Linear ware. But upon examination it will be found
that the difference is but slight and not of essential importance. Dr. Hoppin accepts what
is, after all, the most important point, which I raised some years ago, and which to my
knowledge had not been put before, namely, that the linear ornament (we might call it
the geometric system of ornamentation — not to be confused with the later geometric
period of Greek ceramics) preceded the naturalistic ornamentation of the Mycenaean vases.
As far as I can ascertain, the more recent excavations in Crete and Melos and other
ancient sites have strongly supported the view I urged in 1892. I have not yet come
across any specimen of early dull-colored Mycenaean vases, nor of Neolithic vases from
classical sites, which can be held to contain ornamentation that is not purely linear in
character. Moreover, Dr. Hoppin admits that in the more advanced and wheel-turned
vases of the Mycenaean period an important part of the ornamentation always remains
linear ; while in many of the small vases which he attributes to the Mycenaean period this
linear system alone appears. Furthermore, in some small vases which he attributes to the
Geometric period, the same principle applies ; while, of course, in the succeeding period his
own Argive-Linear, there is nothing but linear ornamentation. He can thus not deny
my contention that in the early vases from the Heraeum the linear principle of ornamenta-
tion was never absent, from its beginnings in the incised Neolithic ware to the end of the
Prehistoric period. Our difference of view thus narrows itself down to what is almost a
difference of words. In view of the continuous presence of a certain system of ornament,
its predominance at the earUest period, as well as at the latest, I have maintained that there
was thus in the vase decoration a continuous Argive-Linear system at the Heraeum, the
pedigree of which goes back to the Neolithic period, and the flourishing day of which is
to be found in the later Argive-Linear period, formerly called Proto-Corinthian. Dr.
Hoppin believes that my later Argive-Linear ware marks the degeneration of the Mycenaean
system, and he proposes to restrict the term Argive-Linear to that later development. I
am quite willing and quite ready to grant the main point of Dr. Hoppin's observation,
namely, that the linear principle could not have asserted itself so strongly in the later
period if the naturalistic element, predominant in the Mycenaean period, had not lost its
vitality. But in view of the fact that in none of the previous periods had the linear
PREFATORY NOTE
xvu
principle of decoration been eliminated, it cannot be correct to imply that there is any
new departure in its more exclusive assertion when the Mycenaean style lost its vitality.
Nor can it be correct to maintain that in this later period it originated out of the decline
of the Mycenaean system immediately preceding it, when it was the predominant principle
in the period preceding the Mycenaean, out of which this grew.
The conscientious work that Mr. DeCou has bestowed upon the publication of the
Bronzes will be manifest to all readers. But they cannot realize the infinite care and
persevering labor which, before he wrote, he bestowed for several years upon the cleaning
and sorting of the confused mass of shapeless material with which he had to deal. He
has chosen to avoid drawing any wider conclusions from his facts, — a course which is
thoroughly justifiable and has much in its favor. But we should have also been grate-
ful to him if he had given us the fruits of his experience in further historic and archaeo-
logical appreciation of his material, seeing that there is hardly any archaeologist alive
who has had more experience in dealing with ancient bronzes than he.
Professor R. Norton's work is of high interest. If he is right in his classification,
there are two distinct classes of engraved stones preceding the distinctly Mycenaean
stones. This would furnish very strong evidence of artistic activity on our site before
the developed Mycenaean period. Moreover, the numerical preponderance of the " new
type Argive " stones over the Mycenaean stones is significant. I woidd suggest as an
explanation of the comparative paucity of Mycenaean stones on this site, that this class
of gem was not commonly used as a votive offering. They are thus generally found in
graves, and were used in life as ornaments or amulets. At the same time, the presence
of comparatively large numbers of stones on the Heraeum site antedating the Mycenaean
period might be a confirmation of our view that in these earlier times the site was a
citadel and not merely a sanctuary, as it became in the later period.
Mr. Lythgoe's publication of the Egyptian objects confirms the views he previously
expressed, and which are embodied in the General Introduction in the first volume.*

THE TERRACOTTA FIGURINES
THE TEREA-COTTA FIGURINES
By CHARLES WALDSTEIN and GEORGE HENRY CHASE
The great bulk of the Terra-cotta Figurines found at the Heraeum belong to what
must be called pre-archaic Greek types. When we consider the find as a whole, we dis-
cover the following significant facts : —
I. The number of terra-cottas dating from the clearly historical periods of Greek
civilization, i. e. the eighth century b. c. and later times, is very small. Out of 2865
figures preserved by us, not counting the ordinary figures of animals and small objects,
which cannot be accurately classified, there are 2557 of pre-archaic style to 308 of
archaic and later types.^
II. Among the terra-cottas of the archaic and later periods, a strikingly small pro-
portion belong to the periods of advanced archaism and technical freedom ; in fact, there
are only fifty-two specimens of the former and two specimens of the latter.
Thus it will be seen that the closest parallelism exists between the main conditions of
the find in terra-cottas and those of the vases, bronzes, and other objects ; namely, the
absolute preponderance of " prehistoric " material, the absence of works of the later Greek
periods, and the fact that in the layers which we excavated, hardly any object is syn-
chronous with the erection of the Second Temple or of a later period.^
The bulk of the find in terra-cottas was made in the black layer about and below the
foundation walls of the Second Temple, as well as in the deposits on the southeast and
southwest slopes of the Second Temple terrace.^ But this general statement must be
qualified by the following significant facts : —
1. We can assert as practically established the fact that no terra-cotta figurines were
found beneath the surface of the upper or Old Temple platform.
2. Nearly all the specimens of the archaic and subsequent periods were found on the
southern slope and the southeast corner and slope of the Second Temple (not in the
black layer about the foundations of the Second Temple).
3. No prehistoric Greek specimens were found within the large West Stoa (one speci-
men of a draped female figure, belonging to the archaic period, was found here), and
none at all on the site of the Roman Building.
The fact that no terra-cottas were found on the site of the Old Temple, as it jyre-
sented itself to us for excavation, may lead us to any one of three conclusions : (1) that
our terra-cottas belong to a later period than that marked by the site ; or (2) that the
custom of offering such figurines did not exist at the time when the temple was built —
' Cf . the Table, p. 9. elsewhere (cf. Homolle, ' Donarium ' in Daremberg et
2 Cf. General Introd. vol. I. pp. 37 fE. Saglio, Diet, des Ant. Gr. et Rom. II. pp. 363 ff., esp.

in temples, often apparently with great care (cf. the find offerings seem to have been used as "dry rubbish" in
of terra-cottas made by Orsi at Terravecchia near Gran- leveling up about the Second Temple, just as the offer-

that itfwas an aniconic period ; or (3) that the site in question was not the natural reposi-
tory for such votive offerings. We are inehned to one of the latter views.*
The two other points, while they show that the main sites excavated about the Second
Tenijjle were pre-archaic Greek, and that the Argive period of the Heraeuni marks
the change in the entrance from the west side to the south slope, also show that the main
bulk of our terra-cottas belong to the pre-archaic period.
With such a mass of material before us, even in the selected specimens which we brought
to Athens, our first care was to find some principle of classification. Two courses seemed
open to us : We might classify our figures either according to their f(nm and style, (u-
accorduig to their decoration. On mature consideration, the former method has appeared
preferable, especially as a classification by decoration must confine itself almost entirely
to plastic decoration — the paint having disaj)peared entirely from many of our figures.
Moreover, no systematic chronological development could be estiiblished on the decora-
tive pruiciple only. At the sjime time, the principle of classification by decoration has
seemed to us a sound one, and we have employe^ it as a secondary principle for dis-
tinguishing a few classes," and for drawing distinctions within one dass.^
Class I. — Such, then, being our j^rinciple, our first class, which we have called " Prim-
itive Argive," consists of a great number of very rudely modeled figures, to which, in
fact, the term " modeled " can hardly be applied. They are really nothing but a small
liunp of clay, elongated, then pinched in the middle to indicate a waist, the residting
projection above forming two stumpy aims, while another pinch at the top indicates the
head. This head soon develops into the well-known bird-like head, in which the beak-like
nose is formed by a compression of the clay between the two fingers of the " modeler." *
These are the characteristics of the earhest specimens.^ Later, two disks are plastered to
the sides of the " beak " to represent the eyes," a lump of clay is added to form a kind of
pilos or cap,' or a strip of clay wound about the head fonns a stephane,* while in many
figures one or more short strips of clay are added to the back of the head to represent
the hair * (exceptionally the hair is indicated in a few early specimens by grooves at the
back of the head). So one sometimes finds — though this is quite exceptional — a fig-
ure in which the artist has tried to imitate nature more closely, in which two lumps of
clay are added to the front of the figure to represent the breasts ; '" the fall of the dra-
pery in front is rudely reproduced by one or more grooves," or a cutting across the
" beak " forms a rude mouth. '^ But even in the most advanced figures of this class,
the development is exceedingly slight, and the body always remams essentially a rude
lump of clay."
Class II. — A distinct advance is made when the rude standing figure is converted into
a seated one.'* The technical change, indeed, is not great ; the standing body is simply

bent at the middle and supported by two stumpy legs,' a process whieli prevails down to
the latest period of this class. Even in the most advanced specimens, the employment of
a separately made chair as a support is rare. But although this change is of little impor-
tance technically, it is of great importance historically. It marks the change in the con-
ception of the goddess which is represented in the traditions of Argos by the story of
Pirasus and his seated figure of Hera dedicated at Tiryns." Now it is a striking fact
that, aside from the Heraeum and Tegea (of which we shall speak later), Tiryns is the
place where these seated figures have been found in greatest nimibers. We have there-
fore ventured to call the figures of this class " Tirynthian Argive," and we believe that
they represent roughly the period of the supremacy of Tiryns in the Argive plain.^
In these " Tirynthian Argive " figures, we have a long and complicated development
of the drapery ; while the figures themselves, although constantly increasing in size,
remain, with very few exceptions, a mere oblong piece of clay, bent forward into the
seated posture, and the heads still have the " bird face." This development of the
drapery even affects the standing type, and we find in our later standing figures a tend-
ency to elaboration which corresponds closely to the development in the seated types.
The various steps in this development are exceedingly interesting, and we shall revert to
them later. Suffice it here to say that, for practical purposes, we have divided our
" Tirynthian Argive " class into three subordinate groups, basing our distinctions upon
the greater or less elaborateness of the ornamentation.''
The next step in the development of this type of terra-cotta figurines is the change
from the " bird face " to the human face, with all the features carefully distinguished.
But before we take up this class of " Advanced Argive " figures, we must speak of two
intermediate classes, which we have set apart by reason of their decoration as well as
their form and style. We mean the Mycenaean and Geometric classes.
Class III. — The " Mycenaean " terra-cottas differ from those of the Primitive and
Tirynthian Argive classes in that they show a quite different technique, both in regard
to the fineness of the clay and in regard to ornamentation. A careful comparison of the
Mycenaean figures with the preceding classes, moreover, brings out the following facts :
(1) They are numerically very weak — there are only sixty-three fragments of Myce-
naean types among our selected terra-cottas, and of these ten are fragments of animals.'^
(2) Frima facie, the schematic outline of these figures, ending below like the foot
of a vase, and above with the ;;o/o.s-, like the neck of a vase," the whole crossed by round
or pelta-shaped body and arms,' is much less naturalistic than the figures of the primi-
tive and Tirynthian Argive classes. On the other hand, the detail workings of the
body, such as the indication of the breasts," show far greater knowledge and skill in
modeling than we find in Classes I. and II. Both these facts would seem to indicate
that we are dealing with a later class of figures. Moreover, the color decoration shows
the same use of glaze color, applied in a similar manner, that we find in Mycenaean
vases. We thus consider this class of terra-cottas an intrusion into the general and con-
tinuous scheme of Argive terra-cottas, which began and ceased during the period of our
first and second classes, but which, strangely enough, was but very little influenced by
the Primitive and Tirynthian Argive styles, and exercised Httle influence on them."

6 THE tp:rra-cotta figukines
The peculiarities of this Myeeuaeau style, we believe, are due to the fact that it was
esseutially a developuient from vase pauitiug, perhaps even the work of the Mycenaean
Ke/ja/icu's, not of the coroplast proper.' We believe this for these three reasons : —
These fijjiires are never found, to our knowledge, except where there are also Myce-
naean vases (whereas our " Primitive " figures were found together with all classes of
vases).
The conventionalization of the figure, notiibly at head and foot, points to ceramic art.
The use of glaze color is certainly borrowed from vase painting.
In this matter of the use of glaze color, we have come to a question which requires
much greater amplification, and which Avill lead us much further afield. In the figures
of Classes I. and II. (as also, to a less extent, in the later classes), the whole figure was
usually covered with a white, chalky slip, and upon this was applied a simple line deco-
ration in red and black.^ This white slip, owing to its flaky character, has in many
cases been entirely lost,^ and is often preserved only in cracks and holes.* The isolated
instances in which figures of Classes I. and II. have a glaze color applied directly to the
clay ® seem to us to point to an introduction of this specifically Mycenaean technique to
contemporary specimens of those classes. Indeed, we have a number of specimens in
which the white coat is used for the upper part of the body, while the lower part is
given a solid color, applied directly to the clay," and this is common in the later, " Ad-
vanced Argive " specimens.' The use of the white slip, however, appears to have been
the specifically coroplastic method, which obtained throughout all periods down to the
latest times ** — a fact which strongly confirms our contention that these terra-cottsis (in
which the color is applied directly) were made imder the influence of the /cepa/ieu?-"
Class IV. — The single female figure (No. 75), which we have assigned to a distinct
" Geometric " class, seems to us to warrant this distinction by reason of its peculiar decora-
tion, which, with its bands of geometric ornaments, divided by straight lines, is very similar
in plan to the decoration of the large Geometric vases which form this class. Its position
in the series is determined by the fact that the face was evidently of the primitive " bird-
faced " type. With this figure we have grouped another distinctly Geometric specimen
(No. 76), a horse of the type so common upon the covers of Geometric vases.'" The two
specimens do not represent the entire influence of the Geometric style upon our terra-
cottas. Traces of that influence are to be seen in a number of other figures, especially
among the animals and small objects," but the two which we have placed together are
the only ones which are so distinctly Geometric in character as to warrant a place by
themselves. In fact, though at Olympia a large number of Geometric animals (espe-
cially horses) have been found, it is a noteworthy fact that we can hardly identify any
plastic representations of the human figure with this period. It appears to us that this

PRINCIPLES OF CLASSIFICATION 7
arises out of the constructive nature of that style, which is essentially decorative and
conventional — in so far un-naturaHstic and opposed to plastic art.
Class V. — A very marked advance in the development of the terra-cotta figurines
found at the Heraeum from the earliest primitive type onward is made when once the
" bird face," which obtains in all the classes hitherto mentioned, is superseded by the
human head.' This type we have called "Advanced Argive." The figures of this class
are plainly a development from our second, Tirynthian Argive, class. Even in the most
advanced specimens, with very few exceptions,' the bodies of these figures are essentially
the same flat oblong which we found in the figures of the Tirynthian Argive class. The
heads, on the other hand, are of archaic type, with wide, staring eyes, large ears placed
high, the mouth often having the well-known archaic smile.'* Most importjint of all,
these heads, almost Avithout exception, were made in moulds. Here, then, we see the
beginnings of that use of moulds which later became the prevailing mode, and revolu-
tionized the manufacture of terra-cottas. Another characteristic of this class of figures
is the tendency to elaborate ornamentation, of which we shall have more to say later.*
In tlie colored decoration of the figures of this class, also, we find again the two pro-
cesses which we have before noted. Thus, while the use of the white slip as a basis for
decoration in color is always retained for the upper parts of the figure, and in many
cases is used for the entire figure as well,^ in the large specimens the color is often
applied directly to the chiton, usually a red stripe at the top, and dark brown for the
rest of the garment."
It is also a noteworthy fact that in these figures the seated type prevails almost exclu-
sively. Indeed, the only standing figure which we have ventured to place among the
advanced Argive specimens differs from them so widely that we have even doubted
whether it ought not to be placed in a category by itself. This is No. 107, a figure
which again illustrates the influence of ceramic upon coroplastic art. This figure has
traces of a human head. In the upper part of the figure there is a certain degree of
naturalness, but the lower part of the body is emphatically conventionalized, without
any attemjit at naturalism. The roundness is so complete that it at once suggests
mechanical work, such as the turning of the potter's wheel. The use of the wheel is still
further confirmed by the application of the brush in making the accurate parallel hues
in groujjs of three, and the broad line at the waist around the cylindrical body. The
ornamentation, as well as the structure of the figure, thus points to the influence of the
Kepa^evs, belonging to the period of the fully developed Argive-Linear,^ as the Myce-
naean terra-cottas showed the influence of the Mycenaean Kepafievs- We have placed
it among the advanced Argive figures on the ground that it has a human head and a
conventionalized body,* and that the decoration would mark it as belonging to about
the period to which we must assign our advanced Argive figures.
Class VI. — Our next class, " Figures under Oriental Influence," consists of a smaU
number of figures which are marked out as a separate category by their subjects — two
lions, heraldicaUy grouped, winged female figures like the so-called Nike of Archermus,''

severul figures of the Egyptian Bes, and a niiniher of representations of the Sphinx.'
With these we have grouped a small figure of a horseman,'- which is certiiinly of Egyp-
tian manitfacture. It would of course have been jjossible to catalogue these figures
under our next class of archaic figures, as they are all archaic in style ; but it has seemed
to us more desirable to collect in one category the specimens which distinctly show the
influence of the E;ist, just as in vases this influence is recognized in the so-called Corin-
thian vases. It is the analogy of the history of vases, moreover, in which the Corinthian
style foUows the Argive style, that has led us to place this category immediately after
the class of advanced Argive figures.^
Class VII. — With the beginning of the historical Greek period, the art of terra-cotta
making becomes more dependent upon sciUjjture, and from this time on, its history is bet-
ter known and more easily traceable. To the beginning of this archaic period we must
assign a number of figures rudely made by hand,* which, although they still preserve a
high degree of conventionalism, manifest an endeavor on the part of the coroplast to imi-
tate more closely the forms of the human body. Their conventionalism, moreover, is the
conventionalism with which we are familiar in the early statues of Greek art (the ^da^a),
beginning with the Nicandra statue from Delos.° We have therefore classed these
figures, and those immediately following them, as " Early Archaic," but have subdivided
them into two groups : —
Group a. — Hand-made Figures. These we regard as in a certain sense a transitional
type from the earlier, hand-made Argive figures to the moulded figures of the archaic
period proper.
Group 6. — Mould-made Figures. The archaic period proper begins with the intro-
duction of the use of moulds for the whole figure, the second step — the modeling of
the heads of the advanced Argive figures being the first — toward the developed terra-
cotta figurine of later centuries. Here we have, at the beginning of the class, a very
interesting transitional specimen," in which we have a moidd-made torso, decked out
at the shoulders with two disks,' such as are common in the primitive and advanced
Argive tyi)es.* After this we have a long series of both seated and standing figures,
hi which we can trace, as in the work of the sculptor, the struggle of the artist with
his material, the gradual advance in the representation of the folds of the chiton," the
development of the arms from mere stumps to well-modeled members of the body,'"
which are raised to the breast," and carry attributes.'- The final period of this de-
velopment corresponds to the period of the well-known female figures on the Athenian
Acropolis.'^
As to color technique, we find in the archaic terra-cottas the same two opposing influ-
ences which we have noted in our earlier classes. The great majority of our archaic

figures show luimeious tiaees of the white shp, which we have described as the typically
coroplastic! method of decoration ; ' but some have paint applied directly to them, at least
in parts.^
Class VIII. — Of terra-cottas belonging- to a later age than this early archaic period
we have but few specimens, and these are almost exclusively heads of figures and votive
busts, in Avhich, owing to the very gradual development of the archaic style, no sharp line
of demarcation can be drawn between early and later specimens. We believe, however,
that the forty-two specimens ^ which we have included in an " Advanced Archaic " class
will be found to mark a higher stage of development than is attained by any specimens
of Class VII.
Class IX. — Finally, we come to the last group, which, as has been siiid above, is re-
presented by a remarkably small nundier of specimens. In regard to Nos. 23J) and 240,
there can be no doubt that they belong to the best period of Greek terra-cotta work,
and we have not hesitated to place them as " Figures of Free Style," in a separate class.
The figures of animals and of varicms small objects are in general so rudely modeled
that they do not lend themselves to any classification based uj^on style."* We have
therefore been led to adopt the manifest principle of classification according to subject,
and thus to disthiguish two further classes, — " Animals " (under which we include fig-
ures of men and women seated upon animals) and '• Various Objects."
So much for the principles upon which we have based our classification, and the gen-
eral development of the manufacture of terra-cottas at Argos, as represented by our finds.
But, as we have already suggested, these classes are by no means of ecpial importance.
Nothing, indeed, is more instructive than the table of the numerical strength of the
classes, which is as follows : —

85 per cent., are figures of the flat-bodied type, with either the " bird face " (2083 speci-
mens) or with the archaic head which is its successor (409 specimens). It is the pre-
ponderance of this type which justifies us in calling these specimens distinctively Argive.
They have been found, it is true, in other places, nottibly at Tiryns^(as we have recognized

and spoiaflifallv elsewhere.' But nowliere have they been found in such nund)eis or
exhil)itini; sueli a dearly marked development as at Argos. They are hardly found at
all at Mycenae." We feel justified, therefore, in giving them the distinctive name of
" Argive."
But if these Argive figures form the great bulk of our find in terra-cottas, they also
present the most serious and ditticult problems of all our figures. How, for insfcvnce,
shall we designate the great mass of plastic ornament which is so characteristic of the
later " advanced " type, and also, to some extent, of the earlier specimens ? In the pre-
liminary })ublication of the Heraeum finds, it was suggested that the elaborate orna-
ments upon the shoulder of the Argive figures might he bunches of flowers, having
some reference to Hera Antheia.^ But further consideration has convinced us that, for
the great mass of our figures, this view is untenable. In the first place, the large orna-
ments for which this interjiretation was suggested * are ])lainly developed from the small
roiuid bosses of earlier figures."^ The beginning of this development is very plain in
one specimen," where the wedge-shaped ornament at the shoidder is no more than an
elongated boss. Now in many later specimens ^ this boss develops into a regidar fibida
of the " f oui'-leaved clover " type,* which Helbig '' proposes to identify with the Homeric
ikt^.^" Moreover, in one fragment " we have the most evident attempt to represent a
bronze fibida of the usual "bow" shape ; '^ while with the elaborate ornaments like

THE ARGIVE TYPE 11
No. 84, we may compare fibulae found in our own excavation,' and others published
by Montelius.^ It thus appears evident that these ornaments are intended to represent
simply the pins by which the Doric chiton was fastened at the shoulder, whether this
be the straight pin {TrepovT}), or the fibula of the clover leaf or bow form ; and we have
therefore had no hesitation in so designating them in our descriptions. There is room
for doubt, perhajjs, in the specimens which have only the simple round boss, whether
this boss is meant to represent a fibida of the eXtf type or a simple straight pin. We
have used the term " pin," therefore, to include both fibulae and wepovai.
The bands across the breasts of our figures* are in many cases evidently meant to
represent necklaces, and we can perhaps distinguish in some cases between the laOfiiov,
or close-fitting necklace, of Homer ^ and the 6pp.o<;,^ or long necklace. Certamly the
many cases in which we find bands ornamented with pendants " can be meant for nothing
but necklaces. But very often our band extends only from shoidder to shoiUder, and
appears to have some intimate connection with the pins which we have just discussed.^
Schliemann * called such ornaments simply " bands," whUe Perrot," in describing a figure
very simdar to No. 34, calls the ornament " a sort of scarf." In the later development,"*
when the figures are adorned with a large number of these bands, the lower one is
usually so wide, and is stretched so straight from shoulder to shoidder, that there can be
no dovibt that it is the fold of the Doric chiton." Moreover, in specimens like No. 30,
the band is plainly the fold of a garment arranged like the ifiaTtov m later works.'" It
must be said, however, that even in fairly early specimens the " bands " often become
subordinated to a general principle of elaborate ornamentation, so that it is impossible
to assign a given ornament to one class or the other, to say categorically, it is a neck-
lace or it is a fold. In the most advanced Argive specimens '* we find a further com-
plication in the elaborate plastic ornaments across the breast, which seem to be made
in imitation of lace or metal adornments attached to the fold itself, or possibly of long
chains, such as the women of modern Greece wear on feast days. But even if they are
such, they are plainly developed from the earUer necklace and simple fold, and these
are the most characteristic forms of decoration of the Argive type. It is the constant
recurrence of these bands which has led us to adopt, as convenient subdivisions of our
Tirynthian Argive class, the following categories : '* —
1. Figures with slightly developed plastic ornamentation at shoulder (no decorative
bands).
2. Figures with considerably developed plastic ornamentation (one band).

THE TERRA-COTTA FIGURINES
3. Piguies with elaborate plastic oinamentation (two or more bands).
It will be found, in general, that increasing elaborateness of ornamentation at the
shoulders of these figures corresponds to the multiplication of bands, and that both
advance with the growth of perfection in technique.'
It remains to note the other decorative elements, which, although they are not of
sufficient imi)ortjince to form a basis for classification, yet display a very considerable
development in our series of figures, — namely, the earrings, the hair, and the head-
dress. Of the earrings not much need be Siiid. They begin comparatively late in the
series (the small size of the earlier figures naturally ])recludes the use of such ornaments)
with much-decorated " bird-faced " figures, and develop from the sinqile disk to the disk
with a central boss," the rosette,' and even the disk with pendant.*
The development of the hair is more complex. In the earliest figures, as we have
before stated," the hair is not represented at all, or at best it is marked by a few par-
allel grooves at the back of the head or by two or three strips of clay attached to the
back of the head and falling to the shoidders, most usually notched or twisted. Then
one or two strands are brought forward over the shoulders," while a corkscrew curl is
added to each side of the forehead.^ The use of the simple mass to represent the hair
as it falls to the shoulders ** seems to be a later development. It is employed almost
exclusively in the most advanced heads," Avhere the front hair is usually represented
by two notched bands,'" or by large curls which leave between them a wide parting."
In a few cases we find over the forehead a row of small, separate curls, similar to those
commonly given to archaic heads m stone.'"
In the headdress we find a development very similar to that which we have noted for
the hair. Very early in our series, as we have already pointed out,'^ we find a smiple
band of clay woiuid about the head to represent the stephane. This is often so broad
and high that it might more properly be called a polos or Stephanos.'* To this is
often applied a single boss,'° or a double boss,'" or even a number of bosses in a row,
with perhaps a double boss in the middle.'' In one case ''^ the edge of the stephane is
pierced with holes, apparently to receive metal ornaments. But the stephane (stephanos,
polos) is not the exclusive headdress of our figures. As the coroplast came to model
larger and taller figures, he evidently began to feel the need of a more stately headdress
to correspond to the elaborate adornment of the body. Thus we find that in the later
figures the most common headdress is the high, bell-shaped calathos.'" This is usually
bound about the bottom Avith a taenia, and is often decorated at the top with bosses.'''"
Most remarkable, of all, however, are the horn-like adornments which are the final deco-
' It is not always possible to use the number of bands
as an absolute criterion, for there are cases in which
other decorative elements, such as applied layers of clay,
representing the garments (cf. Kos. 56, 60, 61), or the in-
fants which the KoupoTp6<pos figures hold (cf. Nos. 37, 57,
58, etc.), take the place of tlie bauds. But, for the most
part, the distinction of the classes according to the num-
ber of bands upon the figures will be found to have been
carried out with considerable strictness.

WHOM DO THE FIGURES REPRESENT? 13
ration of this later type.' These consist of a strip of clay, l)nl<;in<>- slightly at the
extremities, j)laced about the calathos in such a way that the two ends rise above it in
front. A boss is sometimes added to each end for further effect," and between the
" horns " a disk or rosette is quite usual.^ We are inclined to regard these " horns " as
an attempt to represent plumes of some sort, although we know of no parallel cases.*
Another point which naturally arises in connection with these " Argive " figures is
the question. Whom do the figures represent ? Now the most striking fact about them
(as, indeed, about the human figures in general) is the great preponderance of female
forms. In the Avhole find of terra-cottas, there are but sixty-six figures which are male
beyond a doul)t, and of these forty-eight belong to the Avell-known type of the mounted
warrior, and eight to the type of the Egyptian Bes.' This fact would naturally lead
us to the conclusion that our female figures represent the chief goddess of Argos, Hera,
and many arguments can be brought to support this interprefcition. Thus, the great
majority of our Argive figures are seated, and we know from the Pirasus story and
from Pausanias's account of an early image of Hera, as well as from his account of the
statue of Polycleitus, that Hera was conceived at Argos as a seated divinity. The head-
dresses which we have noted upon our figures, stephane, polos, Stephanos, and calathos,
belong to the regular wardrobe of Hera ; " while as a goddess of childbirth ' she could
be represented with an infant in her arms. But such arguments as these are extremely
fallible ; and for the early time, especially, we certainly cannot postulate any such fixity
in the functions and attributes of the goddess as such statements imply. The proof of
this fact is not far to seek ; for in Tegea, where, as we have already stated,* we find
figures exactly similar to all classes of our Argive terra-cottas, these figures were dedi-
cated to Demeter." The headdresses that we have mentioned are found in the Tegean
figures, as in those of Argos, and they are by no means the exclusive property of Hera.
The KovpoTp6(f)o<; figures are much better explained as human mothers,'" especially as Hera
(and the divinities of the Argive plain in general) is rarely represented with an infant
in her arms,*' and the epithet KovpoTpo^o'i for Hera rests upon very doubtful authority.'-

14 THE TERRA-COTTA FIGURINES
or Hera anti Eileithyia, seem to us, to judge from the analogy of similar groups in later
times, to be better t<iken as representiitions of the Earth-mother and her daughter, the
later Demeter and Kore.' In the case of these Argive terra-cottas, therefore, we can
only siiy that they prove to us the existence at the Heraeum, in very early times, of a
cult of the primitive female divinity, the real " great mother of the gods," Avhether we
call her Ge, or Demeter, or Aphrodite, or Cybele, or Hera, or perhaps even Athena or
Artemis. She was early conceived as a seated figure, and this conception strongly influ-
enced the ideas of later times, when men began to call her Hera, and to reproduce her
image in wood and stone. Finally, the use of exactly the form that is employed to repre-
sent the goddess for figures that are certainly human '" proves conclusively that we are
here deaUng with one of those early types which are already familiar to us in the seated
figures from Branchidae, the " Apollo " figures from all over the Greek world, the
standing types of the Acropolis, and many other works.
We have dwelt thus at length upon the " Argive " figures both because they form
the most importiint and characteristic part of our find, and because this type has never
heretofore been subjected to the carefid study which it deserves, and Avhich, fortunately,
our numerous finds of early figures in so unbroken a series enabled us to make.
The remainder of our finds belong, for the most part, to well-known types, and can
be dismissed in a few words. Of the Mycenaean figures, the greater part belong to
the common type with round or pelta-shaped bodies. The large bidl's or cow's head is,
we believe, unique in terra-cotta, although this subject is common enough in Mycenaean
art in other materials.* The paucity of figures of this class of terra-cottas at the
Heraeum is very striking, in view of the large numbers of them that were found at
Mycenae and at Tiryns, and suggests the explanation that these figures were not regarded
as appropriate offerings at this particular temple. The Argive style, in fact, had become
invested with a hieratic character, and was regarded as the proper object of votive
dedication at the Heraeum.* The same remark holds true of figures of Geometric
style, of which the paucity is very striking, in marked contrast to the early figures of
Boeotia, which are distinctly Geometric.'^
So, too, even our 283 figures of the Archaic class foi-m a strikingly small proportion
of the find, when we consider the prevalence of this class on other early sites." Here,
indeed, the figures themselves seem to show that these archaic terra-cottas are not a
natural Argive product. We do not mean to say that they were not made at Argos.

have been for figures of Athena of archaic type (cf. developing on lines parallel to those which it followed at
Winter, Arch. Am. 189,3, pp. 141 ft.). At Corcyra the Argos, yet differing from Argive art in many particulars,
popular offering was apparently a figure of Artemis (cf. In Boeotia, as at Argos, the flat, conventional body of the
Lechat, B. C. //. XV. [1891], pp. 1 ff.). At Tegea the " bird-faced " type was retained long after the advent of
Argive type was later superseded by an archaic hydro- the archaic style of head. In marked contrast to the Ar-

MYCENAEAN AND AECHAIC FIGURES. ANIMALS. VARIOUS OBJECTS 15
The large number of replicas ' would prove that most of them were made there, if such
proof were necessary ; but they seem to be the product of outside influences, rather
than the result of native development.^ So we find a number which show traces of the
schools of Rhodes and of Cyprus.^ So, too, the great majority of these archaic figures
are standing types, whereas the conception of Hera which prevailed at the Hemeum was,
as we have seen, that of a seated figure. Moreover, a number of these archaic figures
are shown by their attributes to be representations of goddesses in no way connected
with Hera, or even hostile to her. Such are the figui-es of Artemis and Aphrodite.*
For the rest we can only say that the archaic figures without attributes may be meant for
sfcitues of Hera, and in many cases, doubtless, were so thought of by the donors ; but in
many others they may have been meant for priestesses or even persons unconnected
with the cidt of the goddess, who offer their own image to her. We are agaui deaUng,
that is to say, with a type, and all attempts to dogmatize at this stage on the subjects of
these figures are futile."
The animals display all the variety usually found in temple offerings. They include
horses (both with and without riders), bidls, dogs, pigs, bears, cocks, and birds, and
even some less common ty|)es, such as the centaur, the serpent, the tortoise, the monkey,
and the bidl attacked by a lion. It does not seem possible that even the hvely imagina-
tion of the Greeks can have thought of any very definite association of all these animals
with the goddess. But few of the animals represented are sacrificial, so that the idea
that they are " substitutions " ® for actual sacrifices is in most cases excluded. At
best this explanation can hardly apply to more than the cows,' the rams, and the pigs.
In most of our figures, therefore, we are inclined to see only examples of the cheap
kind of offerings which were sold at the entrance to the temple, — offerings whose value
depended not so much upon their intrinsic worth as upon the spirit of the donor.
The same must be said of most of the " various objects " which we have catalogued in
our last class. The rough pear-shaped weights * and the cones," — which were probably
meant for use upon the loom,'" — the spools," and the rude oven ^- — probably from a
baking scene — are not inappropriate offerings to a female divinity like Hera. So, too,
the dish of cakes '^ and the numerous fragments of tables " are doubtless to be regarded
in the light of banquets offered to the divinity. The flowei-like disks,^^ which occurred in

THE TKRRA-COTTA FIGURINES
siitli muuHers, have reference, peiliaj)s, to Hera Antheia. But the aijpiopiiateness of
the foot with a siindal ^ (which seems too elaborate to have been part of a human fig-
ure), of the object which we have called a tree," of the whorls ^ and the rings,* it is
impossible to see. Here, then, we doubtless again have examples of small, inexpensive
offerings, which were turned out by the score by the coroplasts, and served to Scitisfy
those among the poorer classes whose means did not permit them to jjresent more elabo-
rate olferings.
But these, after all, are points of minor importance. The chief interest and value of
our find of terra-cottas lies in the fact that tliey reveal to us — in the figures of the
" Argive " classes — the existence of an artistic tradition wliicli began long before the
period of the distinctly Mycenaean civilization, and continued unbroken for centuries
after it. Tliey thus strengthen us in the position which we have been led to take from
a general survey of the whole result of our excavations.
A detailed catalogue of the Terra-cotfci Figurines follows. Upon tlie Plates (XLII.-
XLVIII.) the figures iu parentheses refer to the numbers of this catalogue.

II. TIRYNTHIAN ARGIVE.
GROUP 1: SLIGHTLY DEVELOPED PLASTIC ORNAMENTATION (NO DECORATIVE
BANDS).
12. (Plate XLIII. 1.) Seated female figure, simplest form. The figure is made in the
same way as No. 1, but it is slightly bent in the middle, and to the back is applied a four-legged
support (cf. p. 5, note 1). There is a simple stephane on the head, and the feet are represented by
two lumps applied to the bottom of the figure. White slip, traces of red on stephane. Height,
4.5 cm. Dark yellow clay.
13. Seventy-five fragments of figures similar to No. 12, exhibiting no adornment other than
stephane and slight development of hair. They are usually covered with a white
coat, and decorated with red and black lines.
14. Fragment of figure similar to No. 12, broken at waist, and at neck and left
shoulder. Above the waist are two holes for inserted arms, with fragments of
arms still in place. Traces of white. Height, 6.5 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
15. (Fig. 9.) Bearded seated figure, broken at waist and lacking arms. Eyes,
the usual lumps. Round pilos-like cap. Mouth, a deep cut, and beard marked
by four vertical grooves. White slip. Height, 6.5 cm. YeUow clay.
16. (Fig. 10.) Seated male figure in high pilos, with strap passing under

24. (Fig. 15.) Woman kneading bread. She wears a stephane, and has a lump of clay
attached to each shoulder, to represent dress-pins (Trcpoi-ai).
Small disks of clay represent the dough in the pan. Traces
of white on arms of woman and on pan, of red on stephane,
of brown on woman's body. Height, 6 cm. Clay, reddish
yellow.
Cf. Schliemann, Tiryns, p. 149, No. 76. The motive is
very ancient — it occurs in the oldest sculpture of Egypt ; cf.
Perrot et Chipiez, Hist, de PArt, I. p. 74, fig.
48, and p. 662, fig. 448.
25. (Plate XLH. 3.) Standing female
figure, showing an attempt at more careful re-
presentation of the hair. Under the stephane there is a large curl over each eye,
and an oblong strip of clay at the back of the head, now mostly broken away.
Stephane, red ; hair and body black. Height, 8 cm. Red clay.

Fig. 15.
GROUP 2 : CONSIDERABLY DEVELOPED PLASTIC ORNAMENTATION (ONE BAND).
27. (Plate XLII. 4.) Standing figure, with close-fitting necklace (cf. p. 11) extending to
nape of neck, and bosses at shoulders, to represent TrepoVai. The figure has a stephane. Traces of
white. Height, 7.5 cm. Red clay.
28. (Plate XLII. 12.) Similar figure, with wide band stretched from shoulder to shoulder,
surmounted by round bosses (cf. pp. 10 f.). The hair is represented by curls across the fore-
head, bound with a taenia. White slip, traces of red lines on band and down left side. Height,
11 cm. Light yellow clay.
29. Forty-three fragments of figures similar to Nos. 27 and 28, adorned with one necklace only.
Almost all have the stephane, and show some develo])ment of the hair. They also have very
considerable traces of white coat and ornamentation in red and black.
30. (Plate XLII. 2.) Standing figure, arms, head, and feet broken away, with narrow band
which passes over left shoulder and under right arm. About the neck are traces of a close-fitting
necklace. Slight traces of white. Height, 6 cm. Yellow clay.
Here the band seems clearly to represent the fold of an outer garment, an-anged in the manner
of the later himation (cf. the Acropolis statues, Mvnees iTAtheiiex, pis. ii. and iii. ; Heuzey, Fif/.
Ant. pi. xii. 4 ; and our own Nos. 163, 164, and 175). The oblique band is very similar to that
of the primitive vase in human form from Hissarlik, Schliemann, Ilios, p. 343, No. 235.
TIRYNTHIAN ARGIVE 19
31. Two fragments of similar figures, with l)ainls passing from left shoulder to right side.
32. (Fig. 17.) Standing figure without stepliane. The hair is formed by curls arranged about
a centre. The arms and all the upper part of the body were enveloped in a thin
layer of clay, which formed a sort of shawl (now preserved only on right side).
No traces of color. Height, 7 cm. Gi'eenish yellow clay.
33. (Plate XLIII. 2.) Seated female figure with stephane, similar to No.
12, but decorated with a necklace from shoulder to shoulder. The eyes are not
indicated plastically. The stephane has a boss. The feet are indicated by two
projections. Covered with white slip, marked with red and black horizontal
lines on chiton and chair. Height, 9 cm. Red clay.
Cf. Heuzey, Fig. Ant. pi. xl. 1 (from Cyrenaica).
34. (Plate XLIII. 3.) Similar figure, with ends of necklace enlarged into
■n-epovai. The figure has no separate support, but is held upright by two legs
attached directly to the back. Covered with white slip, traces of red lines at
neck and waist. Height, 9.5 cm. Red clay.
Cf . Schliemann, Tiryns, p. 157, Nos. 87 and 88 ; and on the whole series of seated figures, the
figures from Tegea (Martha, Cat. des Fig. du Mus. d'Athhie.% Nos. 541, 542 ; and Lenormant,
Gaz. Ardi. 1878, pp. 44 ff.).
35. Four hundred and ninety-one fragments of figures similar to Nos. 33 and 34, with stephane
and single necklace, both with and without separately made chairs. They all show the same sys-
tem of decoration in red and black lines on a white ground, with occasional use of color applied
directly (for the bodies). Clay, usually red or yellow.
GROUP 3: ELABORATE PLASTIC ORNAMENTATION (TWO OR MORE BANDS).
36. (Plate XLII. 5.) Standing figure with two necklaces. The hair was formed by four
notched strands at back of head, and shows traces of a stephane. Hair, eyes, and body painted
black, face and breast natural color of the clay. Height, 6.5 cm. Dark yellow clay.
37. (Plate XLII. 11.) Similar figure with two necklaces and ir^pofaL as KovporpotfxK (with an
infant in her arms). The head of the child is broken away. White slip, traces of red on neck-
lace, on infant, and on lower edge of chiton. Height, 7.5 cm. Red clay.
Cf. p. 13.
38. Six almost identical figures carrying infants, both with and without necklaces.
39. (Fig. 18.) Standing female figure, carrying a child on her back; he sits
on her shoulders and grasps her around the head. She wears the customary
stephane with boss. Hair, two strands over eyes. General traces of wliite.
Height, 5.5 cm. Gray clay.
Cf. the figure given by Heuzey, Fig. Ant. pi. iv. 4, which has a child both
at front and at back.
J^ ^^^ ^- (Plate XLII. 10.) Standing female figure of usual type in stephane,
^^H ^m with one double and (originally) two single bosses. She wears a close-fitting
^^%-Mf necklace with pendant, and long double necklace across shoulders, between two
Fig 18 round pins. Plentiful traces of white slip, and of red lines on stephane and neck-
laces. Height, 8 cm. Dark yellow clay.
41. (Plate XLII. 13.) Similar figure, but without stephane. Tlie hair was originally long
curls, now broken away. She has three necklaces, consisting of a twisted band between two plain
ones, and double bosses represent the dress-pins. The fold of the chiton between the legs seems
to be represented by a slight indentation, but this might be due to a defect of the clay. The
body is painted black. Height, 7.5 cm. Gray clay.
42. (Plate XLII. 7.) Similar figure in high stephane with three bosses. Hair, simple mass,
crossed by horizontal grooves. Long necklace with three pendants across breast. Large round
pin on left shoulder ; the one on the right is broken away. The feet are carefully indicated by
wedge-shaped projections, and the figure stands on a plinth. White slip, with traces of red on

necklace, pii», liair, and stephane ; body, from waist down, black. Height, 10 cm. Dark yellow
clay.
43. (Fig. 19.) Fragment of figure with two necklaces and pecnliar form of pin on riglit
shoulder ; tliis consists of a wedge-shajjed i)iece of clay, and is plainly
only an elongated form of the round i)in of earlier numbers ; it forms
a transition, however, to the elaborate pins of later numbers. Ilair
two large curls, surmounted by stepliane. Traces of white. Height,
5 cm. Vellow clay.
44. (Fig. 20.) Similar female figure, with elab-
orate applied ornaments. She has a stephane with
double boss, bound about the bottom witii a taenia.
The hair is represented by four spiral curls over Fig. 19.
forehead, three long curls at back. Four neck-
laces (one twisted, one with pendant), and under them (appearing at left .side)
two more bands, which can hardly be anything but an attem])t to rej)resent
the fold of the chiton. On tlie right shoulder is an elaborate j)in, consisting
of two cross-bars and two bosses, with traces of a third cross-bar (tyi)e of
No. 84). The feet are marked with three gi-ooves each. A wide band of
clay, broken at both extremities, appears under right arm, and there are
traces of a similar band under left arm. These may have served to form a
loop for suspension, for the figure could never have been intended to stand.
White slip, with red lines on face and breast ; stephane, taenia, and body red :
Fig. 20. hair black, black band at waist and at bottom of chiton. Height, 9 cm. Clay,
dark yellow.
45. (Plate XLII. 8.) Similar figure, with deep indentation in beak, which brings out nose
and chin. The figure wears a simple stephane. Hair, two large curls over forehead, six notched
strands at back. There are three necklaces (simple band between two notched bands), with flower-
shaped irtfrnvr} ou left shoulder. Face and necklaces show thick white slip; the body has horizontal
red lines. Height, 13.5 cm. Clay, greenish yellow.
46. (PivATK XLII. 9.) Similar figure with the same indentation for mouth. The hair con-
sisted originally of thick twisted braids (two pieces only are preserved). Four necklaces — twisted
band between two plain ones, toppe<l by waved band. The fibulae were elaborate ; each consisted
originally of two large bosses of three concentric circles, with small bosses between. Thick white
slip on face and necklaces, narrow red line at waist. Height, 11.5 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
47. Thirty fragments of figures similar to Nos. 40-46, with two or more necklaces. They are
all crudely made, often without trace of color, although all ])robably had at least the usual white
coat with line decoration.
48. Fifteen fragments of bodies, broken below waist, so that it is impossible to determine
scheme of decoration.
49. (Plate XLII I. 6.) Seated figure with stephane (broken at front) and two necklaces ; also
originally with pins at the shoulders. The hair is treated as a single mass over each eye. Cus-
tomary white slip, some traces of red horizontal lines on neck (to represent another necklace?),
necklace, waist, and lower part of chiton. Height, 12.5 cm. Clay, red.
50. (Plate XLIII. 7.) Similar figure with four necklaces (three plain bands and one twisted
band), seated in wide chair. Hair is treated as one single, large curl on top of head. White slip.
Height, 9.5 cm. Dark red clay.
Cf. Schliemann, TlrynH, ]>. 156, No. 86.
51. (Plate XLIII. 10.) Fragment of similar figure, broken at waist and right shoulder, with
three necklaces (a i)lain band between two twisted bands), ending on each shoulder in two round
bosses. Tiie mouth is distinctly marked by a straight groove across beak. The figure has earrings
consisting of one boss applied to another, and stejjhane. Tiie hair is treated as a single strand
over each eye, notched in front, as a mass at back, criss-crossed with vertical and liorizontal
grooves, and notched at sides of head. Traces of wliite. Height, 5.5 cm. Dark yellow clay.
TIRYNTIIIAN ARGIVE 21
52. (Fig-. 21.) Upper part of female figure, with a remarkable brooch on right shoulder —
a large spiral, adorneil with rosettes and bosses. (In this single case, it
seems possible that this ornament is of a floral nature, and has some connec-
tion with Hera Antheia; ef. j). 10.) Hair, a large mass, which covers head
and shoulders, hatched with horizontal and vertical grooves. The earrings
have tiie form of rosettes, witli raised bosses in the centre. Traces of white.
Height, 5 cm. Red clay.
53. (Plate. XLIII. 8.) Similar figure, elaborate decoration. It has six
necklaces, four plain and two twisted bands ; the lower one passes around
the back. Earrings in the forms of double bosses. The stephane also has
a large boss. The hair is treated as a long notched curl over each eye, with five spirals at back of
head. Traces of white, with red on stephane. Height, 7 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
54. (Plate XLIII. 9.) Elaborate figure, broken at waist ; left arm and right forearm missing.
The figure has no necklaces, but a deep groove runs across the breast and around the shoulders
anil back, to mark the edge of the chiton. The stephane is pierced by three holes, i)robably
intended for inserted ornaments. Earrings in the form of rosettes. The hair consists of two bands
above forehead, filled with irregular lines of small holes, — a not altogether unsuccessful attempt
to indicate the texture of the hair. Below these bands the hair falls in spiral curls (originally
there were two wiiich fell in front of shoulders, and four at back), which remind one strongly of
metal work. The treatment of the body at the waist marks a style which is not constructively
that of terra-cotta figures, but is more like the technique of beaten metal. On the shoulders
are fibulae in the form of four-leaved clovers (cf. p. 10). Some traces of red on chiton and on
stephane. Height, 8.5 cm. Gray clay, now black from burning.
55. Five hundred and seventy-seven more or less broken seated figures of the type of Nos.
49-53, with two or more necklaces, usually with stephane and pins. Some traces of decoration in
red and black lines on a white ground, with occasional application of paint directly to the clay.
56. (Fig. 22.) Upper part of "■ bird-faced" figure, broken at waist. Hair,
single wavy curl above forehead. The figure is entirely wrai)ped in a sort of
• shawl, which rises to a point over the head. Thick white slip ; traces of red
and black on fragment of back of chair. Height, 6.5 cm. Yellow clay.
Cf. No. 32 and the figure from Tegea, Martha, Cat. des Fig. du Mtis.
/ 'A fr^<^e«es, Nos. 554-558.
t^ « 57. (Plate XLIII. 4.) Seated female figure, holding infant (heads of both
^^ ^, figures missing). The seated figure is of the regular Tirynthian type, with
a necklace from shoulder to shoulder. The child is an oblong lumj) of clay,
with a groove at bottom to mark the feet. Some traces of white. Height,
Fig 22. ^ '""• •^^'^ clay.
Cf. p. 13.
Sa Fragments of seven similar figures, all of the regular " bird-faced " type, to which a lump of
clay is added to represent a child. Some traces of white. Clay, red to yellow.
59. (Plate XLIII. 11.) Fragment of female figure, broken at neck and waist, on wide seat,
which was evidently intended for two figures. The fragment preserved wears a waved necklace of
two bands, and was doubtless of the " bird-faced " tyjie. In her laj) she holds an object like a
broad roll or band, marked with five grooves, which evidently extended to the other figure of the
group. Slight traces of white, with red on taenia and black on the body of the woman. Height,
6.5 cm. Length, 8.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
60. (Plate XLIII. 5.) Female figure from a similar group (the seat is hei-e broken close to
the fio-ure, but was plainly intended for two figures, as it shows no traces of legs at the point of
breakao-e. The face is of the usual "Tirynthian Argive" sort, with a single mass of hair over
each eye. The entire figure is wrapped in a mantle (cf. No. 56) meeting in front, which rises to a
point above the head. In the lap are traces of a roll or band, similar to that of No. 59. Traces
of brown on hair and lower part of chiton. Height, 8.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.

TERRA-COTTA FIGURINES
Fig. 23.
61. (Fig. 83.) Similar female figure from right hand side of group. The mantle is here
broken at the back, while in front it leaves the neck and shonlders bare. The
figure has a simple stephane and a single necklace, adorned with three bosses.
Wliite slip, traces of red on necklace. Height, 6 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
62. Fragment of a similar group of large size (only left hand figure preserved,
broken at shoulder and at lower right hand corner). In the lap is a fragment of
a broad band, similar to the bands of Nos. 59 and 60. General traces of white.
Height, 11 cm. Red clay.
The interpretation of these groups is an interesting problem. So far as we can
judge, both the figures were feminine, for in Nos. 59, GO, and 62 we have the left
hand figure of the group, and in No. 61 the right hand figure, and these are all
feminine. Moreover, the traces of the second figure, preserved on the seat of No.
59, point to a female rather than to a male figure. This fact at once declares against the theory
that we are here dealing with a representation of Zeus and Hera, a sort of [c^jos ya/ios (such as the
group given by Overbeck, Kunstmythologie, Hera, fig. 4 a, from Gerhard, Ant. Bildwerke, pi. i.),
which we should most naturally expect to find at a sanctuary of Hera.^ The association of Hebe
with Hera, as she was later associated with her in the group of Polycleitos and Naukydes, seems
hardly probable at the early date to which we must assign these groups. We are reduced, then,
to the view that we have here an early form of two female divinities like the later Demeter and
Kore. (For another very primitive group of these goddesses, cf. Heuzey, Fiff. Ant. pi. xiii. 3 ;
later examples are pis. xviii. bis. 3 ; xxiv. 1. Cf. the same author's article, ' Groupe de Demeter
et Kore,' in Mo?i. grecs 2)ub. par V Assoc, pour V encouragement des etudes grecques en France,
1876.) The roU may then be the symbol of the bond between the two goddesses.
63. Four hundred and thirteen fragments of bodies of the early seated type — lower parts only
preserved. They usually show some traces of the white coat, and often are decorated at the lower
edge and at the waist with simple line patterns in applied red and black.
64. Two hundred and fifty-nine detached heads of the " bird-faced " type, with round lumps
for eyes, and (usually) simple stephane. Traces of the white coat are common, and the stephane
is often red.
III. MYCENAEAN.

y|k^^ peculiar ornament at back of neck (Fig. 28 b). In
£l^^L the middle of the forehead is a vertical hole, possibly

75. (Fig. 30.) Rude round-bodied figure, overladen with ornamentation. It presents many
analogies to the elaborate Tirynthian Argive figures. The nose was
originally of the " beak " type. The eyes are incised triangles. Ear
very large, witli large pendant. The hair was a large mass, now broken
away. A single band passes from the neck wider each arm, and there
are two simple necklaces, which carry a large brooch, broken at lower
edge. On the shoulders are " clover-leaf " pins, with five bosses each.
The decoration in color is Geometric (Dipylon), in red paint, sliading to
black. It consists of horizontal lines, zigzags, and dots below waist, of
dots alone on necklace, pins, and brooch. Height, 12.5 cm. Reddish
yellow clay.
Cf. pp. 6 f.
76. (Plate XLVIII. 13.) Geometric horse, legs broken. The deco-
ration is entirely in straight lines, except at shoulder, where there are two
curved lines. This horse is very similar to the horses which are so com-
mon upon the covers of Geometric vases (cf. Rayet et Collignon, Histoire
de la Ceramique Grecque, p. 33, fig. 21), and perhaps came from a vase.
Color, lustrous black. Height, 9 cm. Yellow clay.
Among the other animals of Class IX. several show traces of Geometric influence in their deco-
ration, but in none are these traces so pronounced as to justify their transference to the Geometric
class.

78. (Fig. 32.) Similar figure, broken at waist, and lacking right ai-m.
marked archaic type — eyes, protruding masses. Ilair, single
long curl over each shoulder, topped by stephane with (originally)
seven small bosses. The breasts were modeled separately and
ap])lied, as is evident from depression to receive right breast. In
the hand, the thumb and the fingers are distinguished, and a hole is left between
them (for holding an object ?). Traces of white, of red on stephane. Height,
8 cm. Red clay.
79. (Plate XLIV. 2.) Seated figure, which shows some attempt at model-
ing the body. The swell of the breast is quite well reproduced, the hair is
moulded with the face, the ear is fairly well given, although placed too high.
The stephane has long ends behind, and thus forms a sort of taenia. The dress-
pins are of the usual " boss " type. The band is here plainly a necklace, for the fold of the chiton
is reproduced at the neck. There is no chair, but only two legs attached to the back of the figure.
Color, white, with red on necklace, at waist, and on lower edge of chiton. Height, 12 cm. Light
yellow clay.
80. (Plate XLIV. 1.) Flat-bodied figure (head missing), seated in elaborate chair. She wears
three necklaces — the second has three pendants, and the third ends in small round pins. On
the back and arms of the chair are round bosses. Ground color, white ; the shorter necklaces are
red ; the long one has oblique lines ; back of chair, vertical lines ; arms of chair, horizontal lines ;
bosses, radiating lines ; broad band at waist and below knees — all red. Height, 8 cm. Yellow
clay.

81. (Fig. 33.) Fragment of seated figure, broken at neck and
below waist. Simple necklace with pendant, followed by twisted
necklace, and wide band, which is probably here the fold of the
chiton. The fragment on the right shoulder is part of a large
fibula. The figure is interesting as showing the method of attach-
ing the head in these advanced Argive figures; the body was
drawn out into a wedge-shaped projection at the top, upon which
the head was fitted ; the joint was then covered by a necklace in
. front and by the mass of the hair behind. This figure also shows
the legs of chair attached directly to tlie figure. General traces of
white ; slight traces of red on orna-
ments. Height, 12 em. Clay, red.

of a long bar, decorated with rosettes, and with cross-bai's of
dumb-bell shape. Four bars and three rosettes are preserved,
and this is probably the original number, as
the pin begins to narrow considerably at the
points of breakage. The ends undoubtedly
curved forward, as in No. 84. The figure has
two necklaces (one twisted) and distinctly
marked fold. Traces of white on neck, neck-
laces, fibula, and back, of red on fold and on
cross-bars of fibula. Height, 12.5 cm. Clay,
red.

Head and left arm of seated, flat-bodied figure, with an infant on her arm

lace, red band at infant's knees. Height, 8 cm. Red clay.

86. (Plate XLIV. 3.) Large seated female figure, broken at neck and
at left lower edge. She held an infant in her arms, of which traces are pre-
served only in her lap. Elaborate adornment with double necklace, which
carries two pendants at the sides, double waved band, double straiglit band,
and wide fold. The pins, strangely enough, are only small disks, as in the
earlier types. Left arm disproportionately short. The chair was made
Traces of white, with applied red on upper body and child. Lower body is painted
red horizontal lines. Height, 18 cm. Yellow clay.
87. (Fig. 38.) Similar KovpoTp6<j)Oi figure with large infant on left arm. The
infant's head is missing. Both woman and child are entirely enveloped in a thin
layer of clay, which includes the back of the chair as well (cf. Nos. 56 and 60) ;
but a break on the
right side shows that
the figures were com-
plete before the appli-
cation of this layer.
The woman has a

chiton, runs a waved band, adorned with fine
holes ; between the turns of this band are rosettes
(an imitation of lace ? or should we find here a
|.j^. ^y trace of the metal ornaments found by Schlie-
mann, which were intended to be sewn to the
garment? cf. p. 11). The pins ai-e of the "clover-leaf" type, with double bosses in the centre,
and single bosses on the leaves. At the back are traces of curls, and two notched bands are
stretched from shoulder to shoulder over the chiton. General traces of white on neck and neck-
laces, body brown. Height, 8 cm. Clay, light yellow.
91. (Plate XLIV. 5.) Similar elaborate torso. The chiton is a separate layer of clay. Two
twisted necklaces. Over the chiton in front is stretched a waved stripe, decorated with incuse
disks (such as are found in ceramic ware) followed by a line of pendants, with similar incuse
disks, bosses at top and notches at bottom (cf. p. 11). The pin is similar to that of No. 90, but
larger. Behind, there are traces of curls and a line of pendants from shoulder to shoulder. Traces
of brown paint on chiton. Height, 8 cm. Clay, yellow.
92. One hundred and eighty fragments of figures similar to Nos. 77-91. The plastic decora-
tion is throughout very elaborate ; the painted decoration consists sometimes of red and black lines
on a white ground. Sometimes this treatment is applied only to the upper part of the body, and
the lower part is given a solid brown color, applied directly to the clay.
93. (Plate XLV. 11.) Head and shoulder of advanced Argive type. The headdress is broken
away. The hair was a row of curls over the forehead, topped by a notched mass, with the usual
simple mass at the back, now broken away. The figure has two close-fitting necklaces with three
pendants, followed by three larger ones (one of them twisted), decorated at the shoulder with a
pin of the round boss type. The fold of the chiton is represented by two narrow bands ; it was
held by a large fibula of tlie usual elaborate kind, of which only the upper part remains. White
slip, red on ornaments. Height, 12 cm. Yellow clay.
94. (Plate XLV. 13.) Similar head and shoulder, color well preserved. Close-fitting necklace
with pendant, followed by three others (simple band between two twisted bands) and double waved
band. The pin is placed altogether too high, so that it can only be intended for ornament, —
possibly as a pendant to the necklace. Disk earrings with pendants. Hair, two masses above
forehead, with horizontal grooves, large mass at back, notched at sides of neck, The headdress
consists of a calathus, bound by a wide taenia. The ground color is white ; black is found on
hair (except at sides of neck), above the eyebrows, and inside of eyes; in radiating lines on ear-
rings, in dots on pin and waved band ; red appears in radiating lines on earrings, in dots on pin
and waved band, and in two wide streaks above and below close-fitting necklace. All the colors
are carelessly applied, and seem to be meant simply to enliven the figure, without much regard to
its anatomy. Height, 12 cm. Clay, yellow.

back, topped by two large curls. Slight traces of necklace with pendant. White slip ; hair black ;
red on necklace. Height, 9 cm. Dark yellow clay.
105. (Plate XLV. 3.) Head of advanced Argive type. The features are very sharp and dis-
tinctly archaic, — indeed, it may be a question whether this head ought not to be placed in the
" Archaic " class. The eyes are wide and staring, mouth accentuated, in that the region separating
the mouth from the cheeks and the chin is here defined by a round hollowing, which at the same
time gives hardness. Hair, tight curls over forehead, treated in a conventional manner, like
inverted wave pattern, spirals at back, now broken. Simple band about hair, traces
of another ornament (perhaps calathus) on crown of head. Simple earrings. Traces
of white on face ; hair, black. Height, 4 cm. Clay, yellow.

108. (Fig. i'2.) Plaque with heraldic lions, broken at right lower corner. The position of the
_ lions is very schematic ; each rests one fore paw on a pedestal, and raises the
other liorizontally, so that the two raised legs meet for their wliole length.
The tail is curved over the hack. Tiie heads turn and look backward. The
surface is treated ratlier superficially, and the muscles are but little developed.
No trace of color. Height, 10 cm. Chiy, red, in many places burned black.
The Lion gate at Mycenae is strikingly similar to this plaque, as well as
some Mycenaean gems (for instance, the one published by Tsountas, 'E(^. 'Apx-
1888, p. 175, 2 ; pi. x. 2). Between the two lions of our plaque probably
stood a pedestal or altar (the upper edge can still be made out) similar
to those of the gate and the gem. Tlie plaque would seem to belong to the
end of the Mycenaean civilization. On the whole subject of heraldic animals,
see Curtius, ' Uber Wappengebrauch n. Wappenstil im gr. Alterthum,' in his
Gesammelte Abhamllungeii, II. pp. 77-115, pi. i. (cf. with our plaque
especially Nos. 8 and 11).
109. (Fig. 43.) Upper part of winged female figure, broken at waist. The face is badly worn,
but plainly archaic. Three notelied strands of hair fall to each shoulder.
The head is surmounted by a stephane. Arms akimbo, — the hands held
sickle-shaped objects, badly worn. Hair, red ; red bands on stephane,
body, and wings. Height, 7 cm. Yellow clay.
This figure is very similar to the Delos statue (^B. C. 11. III. [1879],
pp. 393-399, pis. vi. and vii.), and, like it, was undoubtedly a running
figure with one knee touching the ground. In terra-cotta, we have
similar figures in Martha, Cat. des Fifj. dii Mus. d'Athhies, No. 9, and
in Dumont et Chaplain, Les Ceramiques de la Grece Propre, II. p. 229,
No. 46. These are both explained as goi'gons, and that is the interpreta-
tion we are inclined to give to our figure. On the subject of running
figures, cf. Curtius, ' Die knieenden Figuren d. altgr. Kunst,' in Gesam-
melte Ahhandlnngen, II. pp. 116 ff. pi. ii., and Gerhardt, 'Uber die Fliigelgestalten der alten
Kunst,' in his Gesammelte Akad. Ahhandlungen, I. pp. 157 ff. pis. ix.-xii.
110. (Fig. 44.) Fragment of a similar figure, running to riglit, badly broken. All that
appears is the body, with arms akimbo, a small part of right wing, right
leg to knee, and left leg to middle of thigh. But the figure is plainly
an archaic running figure. Traces of white ; some red on chiton.
Height, 5.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
Cf. No. 109.
lU. (Fig. 45.) Squatting male figure, type of the Egyptian Bes,
broken at knees. The figure is that of a dwarf with

The wide distribution of this class of figures may be seen from Orsi's note on
the find at Megara Hyblaea, Mon. Ant. I. p. 838, note 1. Cf. the figure there
given, pi. vi. 4. The development of this type is traced by Heuzey, 'Sur

114. (Plate XLVIII. 1G.) Fragment of large sphinx, broken at middle of body. The figure
is very rude, consisting of no more than a head and neck ( in full face), set upon a winged body
(whether of a lion or of some other animal it is impossible to determine). The technique is most
interesting, for all the surfaces of the face ai'e plane surfaces, and appear to have been made with
a knife or some similar tool ; this is true, too, of the wing. Moreover, there are no traces of paint
on the head or on the wing, whereas they are plentiful on the other parts of the figure. It
appears, then, that the figure was finished and painted, and at some later time the surfaces which
show the knife, marks were formed by cutting away the original contours. The paint, which
appears on legs and body, is I'ed. Height, 11 cm. Yellow clay.
An interesting head for comparison is published by Tsountas, '1C<)!). 'A.px^. 1892, p. 13, pi. iv. 4
and 4" ; cf. also the poros heads from the Acropolis {Bev. Arch. XVII. [1891], pp. 304 ff. j)l. x.),
which, some have held, were made by a workman during the noonday rest, exactly as our figure
may have been remodeled.
115. (Fig. 46.) Small sphinx, head missing. The head was apparently feminine, for two
locks of hair appear in front of each shoulder. No traces of color. Height,
4.5 cm. Clay, light yellow.

leg, body, and beginning of wing preserved.
Traces of white. Height, 4.5 cm. Clay, brown.
117. (Fig. 47.) Small figure on a horse, gal-
loping to left — plaque, stamped on both sides.
Rude modeling, but with some attempt at repre-
senting muscles of horse by means of grooves.

This figure is stamped as Egyptian by its enamel. Moreover, Professor
Petrie, in his Naukratis (p. 14), speaks of " figures of light, friable,
sandy ware " — a description which applies exactly to our plaque ; and
Professor Ernest Gardner informs us tliat some of these figures were exactly similar to ours. There
can be no doubt, then, that we have here an imported article, as is also the case with a sniall
fragment of similar material and glaze — the lower portion of a squatting figure, very much like
the type of the Egyptian Bes, Nos. 111-113.

GROUP A: HAND-MADE FIGURES.
Standing male figure, both legs, left arm, and right forearm missing. The
figure presents many analogies to primitive Argive figures — the eyes
are round lumps, the nose is almost a beak, and the hair consists of four
strands falling to the shoulders behind and a wavy curl on top of the
head. Yet the mouth and chin are plainly indicated, and there is some
attempt at modeling in the body, which produces something the effect
of the early Apollo figures. The body is covered with a thick white
slip, with applied red on hair, red lines at breast and waist, and red
hatchings on legs (meant to represent pattern on chiton ?). Height,
11 cm. Clay, red.
119. Fragment of seated male figure, broken at hips. The upper
part is a mere wedge, to which was attached a face in front, and a mass
of hair behind. The aiSoIa are roughly represented, but far too high.
Slight traces of dark brown on left arm, back of head and lower abdo-
men. Height, 9 cm. Clay, straw.

but showing an attempt to distinguish the features of the face. The

nose, now broken, was di.stinguisheil from the chin ; the eyes are incised circles ; the hair is a
series of notched strands falling to shoulders. The arms are raised
to the breasts, and three grooves at the end of each mark the fingers,
(ieneral traces of white. Height, 8 cm. Light yellow clay.
121. Standing female figure with remarkably long neck, broken at
waist, arms missing. Face very rude, nose very much like a beak,
but distinguished from chin, mouth not indicated. The breasts are
rudely applied lumps. Eyes, two incised circles. Hair consisted of
notched mass at top and strands down the back (now broken off).
White color is preserved in circles of eyes. Height, 10.5 cm. Clay,
reddish yellow.
122. (Fig. 50.) Standing female figure with nose and mouth care-
fully distinguished. Eyes, however, are lumps — a reminiscence of
the earlier types. Hair, nine notched strands, spreading over shoul-
ders. A slight groove from shoulder to shoulder marks the fold of
the chiton. The forearms (now broken off) were extended forward.
Three grooves extend from waist to bottom of chiton on each side, doubtless to represent folds.
The ground color is black, covered with yellow dots, even on the parts of the neck above fold of
chiton ; between the grooves, on the lower part of the figure, are hatchings of light yellow. Height,
11.5 cm. Clay, grayish yellow.
123. (Fig. 51.) Rudely made figure with round body ; head, right arm, and left forearm miss-
ing. Traces of white. Height, 8.5 cm. Red clay.
This figure stands in the same relation to the two preceding figures that the
statue of Cheramyes (cf. Collignon, Hist, de la SculjHure Grecque, I. p. 163,
fig. 73) does to the Nicandra statue {ibid. p. 120, fig. 59). It is an attemjit to
vary the monotony of the square, board-shaped body by another form, which,
however, is equally summary and untrue to nature.
124. (Fig. 52.) Rude round figure of a pregnant woman, head, arms, and
feet broken away. The feet were attached to two stumps
inserted in the lower part of the figure. The edge of the
chiton below the neck is carefully indicated by a deep cutting.
White slip. Height, 9.5 cm. Yellow clay.
Representations of pregnant women are not uncommon in
all periods of Greek terra-cottas ; cf. Schliemann, Bericht iiher die
hungen in Troia im Jahre 1890, pi. i. 3 ; Dorpfeld, Troia, 1893,
Schone, Gr. Eeliefs, p. 67, No. 142, pi. xxxvi. { = Bull. 1868, p. 54, No. 20) ;
Stephani, Compte Rendu, 1865, pp. 193, 194, pi. vi. 6 ; Ant. du Bosj^hore
Cimmenen, II. p. 91, pi. Ixix. 7. But all these figures are plainly intended for
caricatures, whereas our figure, as a temple gift, can hardly be anything but a
thank offering for a successful childbirth. It is appropriately dedicated to Hera
as 'ElKfidvia. (Cf. Hesych, s. v. ElXeiOvlar "Hpa iv 'Apyei, and on the whole sub-
ject, Roscher, Lexicon der Mythologie, ¥. pp. 2087 ff.
125. Forty-four fragments of figures similar to Nos. 118-122, mostly bodies of the o-aits type,
roughly made by hand. A few show traces of applied plastic ornamentation. The painted orna-
mentation is simple ; it consists principally of lines and dots, usually in red and black, although
there are a few cases of applied white (to mark the girdle), and one figure has two purple bands
falling from the girdle in front. The only pattern is found on the right side of one figure, where
we may suppose the fold of the Doric chiton to be : —

126. (Fig. 53.) Torso of female figure of coarse clay, round-bodied type. On the riglit slionl-
^^^^^^^^^^ der is an elaborate fibula of the " clover-leaf " type, and the left shoulder
I^^^^BJBJl^l^^ shows traces of a similar fibula. At the back are traces of strands of
T^^^^^^^^^^^M hair, and also of an applied band wiiich was stretched from shoulder to
^K^^^^j^HBf shoulder. The ground color is red, covered by a black coat, with
^^^^^^^^^f^ applied yellow lines at waist and neck, and yellow dots on fibula.
^^^^H^ Height, 6 cm. Clay, yellow.
^^^^r^ 127. Similar torso, forearms (which were extended) broken off.
Pie 53 Traces of four strands of hair at back, and of one strand in front of
each shoulder. Fold of chiton represented plastically and decorated
with " laufender Hund " pattern in light brown. The entire body is covered with a light brown
coat, to which is applied dark brown on bust and arms. Dark brown stripe at waist. Height,
5.5 cm. Yellow clay.
128. Third torso of similar style, arms broken. Fold of chiton moulded in the clay, both at
front and back. Traces of long necklace from shoulder to shoulder behind. Hair was six notched
strands. Fragment of large fibula on left shoulder. Ground color red, changing to black (appar-
ently from burning). Applied white on neck and fibula ; white line at waist. Height, 5 cm.
Dark yellow clay.
129. Fragment of heavy, seated figure of coarse clay (similar to the clay of Nos. 126-128),
broken at neck and below knees. The woman leans forward and rests her elbows on her knees.
The forearms are broken off. Color, black, with red lines at u])per edge of chiton and at waist.
Traces of large fibula at left shoulder. Height, 8.5 cm. Yellow clay.
Here, too, we may place, as a transitional type —
130. (Plate XLVII. 3.) Bust and head of rudely made figure of archaic style, with a mod-
eled head. This figure presents striking analogies to the advanced Argive figures ; it has a low
stephane, six large curls, large earrings, and a close-fitting necklace. Yet it is a real archaic
figure ; the body was of the same type as Nos. 126-129. Paint applied directly : pupils of eyes,
hair, and body, black ; brows, brown. Height, 6.5 cm. Yellow clay.
131. Fragments of four replicas of No. 130, with varying amounts of plastic ornament. Three
have necklaces, the fourth is broken close to the neck. One has marks of a long necklace from
shoulder to shoulder at the back. Two have applied earrings, while of the others, one has the ear-
rings represented by circles sunk in the clay, the other has none at all. The hair consists in
three cases of curls ; in the other it is a mass. All show marks of having had a stephane. The
system of color is the same in all — body, solid color, in one case black, shading to red ; in the
others, black ; necklace, a row of dots ; pupils of eyes, brows, and hair, same color as the body —
in one case red, in the others, black. One figure has a black dot in the centre of each earring.
Height, 3.5 cm. to 6.5 cm. Clay, yellow, except one figure, which is of gray clay.
GROUP B: MOULD-MADE FIGURES.
132. (Fig. 54.) Fragment of standing female figure, broken at neck and
waist, arms missing. The modeling is careless. The fig-
ure is interesting only because it has at the shoulders round
pins similar to those of the early and advanced Argive
styles (cf. p. 8). General traces of white. Height, 4 cm.
Clay, red.
133. Fragment of similar figure, without pins. The lower
body is no more than a squared lump of clay ; the arms
are stumps. Fold of chiton represented by a slight groove.
Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
134. (Fig. 55.) Moulded female figure, broken at neck and above knees.
She wears a sleeveless chiton— the upper edge plainly marked by a depres-

■and necUace with pendant. At each side of neck, one or two curls of a long lock of hair.
The arms fall close to the sides. The relief is very flat, but there is an
attempt to represent the breasts. No trace of color. Height,
7.5 cm. Clay, dark red.
135. (Fig. 56.) Badly worn figure of similar make, no orna-
mentation. At height of shoulders, two supports were fixed to
the back to hold the figure upright (cf. the Argive seated fig-
ures). Traces of white. Height, 8.5 cm. Yellow clay.
136. Three fragments of similar figures, all showing remains
of supports at level of shoulders. They all show traces of white
coat. Heights, 4.5 cm. to 8 cm. Yellow clay.
137. (Fig. 57.) Lower part of large moulded figure, in very
high relief (broken at waist). The chiton hangs in a long
straight fold between the legs (cf. Miisees d'Athhies, pi. v.).
Anns are pressed close to sides. Color, bright red ;
arms, pink. Height, 10 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
138. (Fig. 58.) Similar fragment in lower relief, with line ornamentation in pur-
ple (simple vertical lines, joined by horizontal and criss-cross lines ; at sides, rude
horizontal lines only). Height, 6 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
139. Fragments of three similar figures in low relief, arms always at sides. In two
cases, the toes are modeled rather carefully.
140. (Fig. 59.) Moulded figure, broken at neck. Hands still at sides.
From the waist down, the figure is a mere case, in which all the forms
disappear, but there is an attempt at representing the feet. Above the
waist, the modeling is summary, but fairly accurate. The breasts are
clearly brought out, as are also the lower edge of the chiton and the indentation of
the girdle (cf. Musees d'Athenes, pi. x.). The figure stands on a
narrow plinth, which was included in the mould. White slip, with red
bands around lower part of chiton. Height, 7 cm. Clay, gray.
141. Exact replica of No. 140, similarly broken, decorated with red
bands. Height, 7 cm. Clay, gray.
142. Very similar figure, but not replica. The proportions are
slightly smaller than those of No. 140 and No. 141 ; the figure may have
been made from a mould which was itself made from No. 140 or No.
141 and shrank in baking.^ It shows only traces of white. Height, 7 cm. Red clay.
143. (Fig. 60.) Fragment of similar figure, broken at waist. The hair is represented by
notches and falls to shoulders. The ear is too high, as is usual in
archaic work. The edges of the chiton at neck and waist are dis-
tinctly marked. Traces of white, of red on chiton. Height, 4.5 cm.
Red clay.
144. (Fig. 61.) Fragment from the same mould as No. 143,
minus face and broken at knees. This figure shows not only the
lower edge of the fold of the chiton, but also the indentation of the
girdle. Arms held close to sides. Slight traces of red. Height,
7.5 cm. Red clay.
145. Upper part of similar figure in high calathus (broken at
waist). Fold of chiton and indentation of girdle well marked. Color,
white ; traces of red on calathus. Height, 5 cm. Clay, red.
146. Small fragment of similar figure, broken at waist and below
knees. Behind each hand (arms still hang close to sides) a small hole, possibly for
suspending the figure. Traces of white. Height, 4.5 cm. Red clay.

edges of the mould. Arms hang close to sides. Edges of chiton marked by grooves at neck and
waist, also at sides. The hair is represented by grooves, worked after the figure left the mould.
Slight traces of red. Height, 8.5 cm. Dark yellow clay.
148. (Plate XL VI. 5.) Figure from the same mould, with stephane added. Traces of white
on face, of red on chiton. Height, 8.5 cm. Yellow clay.
149. Fragment from the same mould as Nos. 147 and 148, broken at neck and knees.
150. (Plate XLVI. 14.) Bust of large standing figure broken at waist. High round stephane.
The hair is carefully represented by curls in low relief over forehead, and three long curls in front
of each shoulder. The eyes are remarkably long and triangular. Traces of white, of red on left
side. Height, 10 cm. Gray clay.
151. (Fig. 63.) Somewhat similar fragment, broken at waist, face badly broken. Edges of
chiton very plainly marked, also edge of girdle. Hair,
large mass at back. Ears, remarkably large. No traces
of color. Height, 10 cm. Red clay.
152. Fragment of similar figure, broken at waist and
neck. General traces of white. Height, 7 cm. Red
clay.
153. (Plate XLVI. 1.) Rudely modeled figure, with
arms bent at elbows, hands touching shoulders. No
attempt at representing details. Traces of white.
Height, 7 cm. Yellow clay.
154. (Fig. 64.) Fragment of figure with arms simi-
larly bent (broken at neck and above knees). Very
careless modeling. Traces of white. Two red lines at waist, one at neck.
Height, 7 cm. Greenish yellow clay.
155. (Plate XLVI. 6.) Standing figure in stephane, with hands raised to breast. All the
lines are remarkably deep ; they seem to have been made with a pointed instrument. Hair treated
in notches. Two grooves mark the lower border of chiton. No trace of color. Height, 8 cm.
Clay, dark red, shading to black.
156. Two fragments of very similar figures, with hands raised to breasts (both broken at neck).
One has white slip, with red horizontal lines, one at upper edge of chiton, three at waist, two at
lov/er edge of chiton.
157. (Plate XLVI. 2.) Somewhat more advanced archaic figure, showing an attempt to
represent the folds of the chiton. The figure wears the stephane, and the arms are represented
as bent at the elbow, although the forearms are mere stumps. Traces of white coat. Height,
8.5 cm. Red clay.
158. Fourteen fragments of similar figures, mostly lower parts with folds in low relief. One is
an exact replica of No. 157.
159l Figure very similar to No. 167 — folds of chiton fairly well given
(broken at neck). The arms hang slightly forward, and are entirely
given in the moidd. Traces of white. Height, 6 cm. Clay, reddish
yellow.

Red clay.
161. (Fig. 65.) Lower part of archaic figure, showing still greater
development of folds of chiton. Here, not only the vertical folds which
fall from the arm are brought out, but tlie folds between the legs are also
fairly well reproduced. The modeling of these folds is softer than in
most of the other figures of this class, giving an impression of gi-eater
Fig. 65. freedom. This may partly be due to the fact that this was perhaps made
34 TERRA-COTTA FIGURINES
when the mould itself was somewhat worn, and the lines, therefore, not so sharp. No traces of
color, lleiglit, 8 cm. Light yellow clay.
162. Two fragments of similarly drajjed figures. One of them is painted a bright red ; the
other shows a veiT plain thumb-mark at the back.
163. (Plate XLVI. 3.) Figure of the " Spes " type, broken at neck and at knees. The
hitnatiou falls from right shoulder and j)asses under right arm. The chiton was doubtless indi-
cated in color. Right hand raised to waist, and pierced by a hole for an attribute (perhaps a
flower?). Left hand holds edge of himation. The folds are very carefully indicated. Himation,
red — color applied directly to clay. Height, 8.5 cm. Yellow clay.

Heuzey, Fig. Ant. pi. xl. 2 (from Cyrenaica) ; Martha, Cat. des Fig. du 3fus. d'Athhies, No.
733 (provenance unknown, but probably Greek). The best short discussion of the " Spes " figures
is that of Orsi, in his publication of the Megara Hyblaea terra-cottas ; see Moti. Ant. I. pp. 924 ff.
164. (Plate XLVI. 10.) Fragment of figure similar to No. 163 — broken at neck and waist.
Same arrangement of himation, same careful adjustment of folds. Right hand raised to waist,
left doubtless grasped edge of garment. Slight traces of white. Height, 5 cm. Light yellow clay.
165l Fragment of archaic figure, broken above waist and below knees. The folds are hastily
indicated. The left hand hangs somewhat forward and holds an apple. At the back is a very
plain thumb-mark. Traces of white. Height, 6.5 cm. Dark red clay.
166. (Plate XLVI. 9.) Aphrodite of archaic type, broken at neck and knees. Folds of chiton
barely indicated. Both hands are raised, the right, carrying a dove, to breast ; the left, with
flower, below it. Traces of white. Height, 5.5 cm. Clay, reddish yellow and very fine.
167. Fragment of similar figure, only left hand with dove and right hand side of drapeiy pre-
served. Traces of white. Height, 4.5 cm. Fine yellow clay.
168. (Fig. 66.) Similar Aphrodite, broken at neck and above knees. Right hand, raised to
breast, carries dove ; left grasps edge of sleeve of himation. Traces of white. Height,
7 cm. Dark red clay.
169. Similar figure, badly broken. Right holds dove, left raised edge of hima-
tion. The folds of the himation are carefully given. On the shoulders, traces of
three locks of hair. Traces of white. Height, 7 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
170. Fragment of similar figure, broken at neck and waist. Right hand holds
dove. In front of shoulders, four notched strands form the hair. Traces of white.
Height, 6 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
171. Second fragment, broken at neck and just below breasts. Right holds
dove. Traces of white. Height, 2.5 cm. Fine yellow clay.
Cf. on all these figures, Nos. 166-171, the marble statue in Lyons (^Gaz. Arch. 1876, p. 133,

Fig. du Mus. d'Athines, No. 433.
172. (Plate XLVI. 4.) Figure of usual archaic type, broken at neck and at knees. The figure
wears the chiton, with a thick fold between the legs, and over it another garment (xitwi'iVkos ?)
reaching to the knees (cf. the statue, Musees d'Athenes, pi. v.). Both hands are raised in front
of body, the left below the right, and each holds a fruit. Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Clay,
light yellow and very fine.
Cf. p. 15 ; Heuzey, Fig. Ant. pi. xl. 2 ; Martha, Cat. des Fig. du Mus. d'Athenes, No. 736.
173. Very similar fragment, broken at neck and thighs. Left hand holds a fruit ; attribute of
right uncertain, but probably also a fruit. Traces of white. Height, 5 cm. Fine yellow clay.
174. Fragment of archaic figure, broken at neck and waist. Left hand at breasts, holds flower.
Traces of white. Height, 4 cm. Red clay.
This type is very common; cf. Orsi, 'Megara Hyblaea,' J/on. Ant. I. p. 924, pi. vii. 4, pi.

175. (Plate XLVI. 8.) Fragment of archaic figure, broiien at neck and at waist. She
wears the himation falling from right shoulder to left side, and holds in front of her, with her
right hand, a wreath. Traces of red on himation. Height, 4.5 cm. Clay, yellow and fine.
Cf. the statue from the Acropolis (Collignon, Hht. de la Sculpture Grevque, I. p. 353, fig.
178), which holds a wreath in the right hand and a jar in the left; Orsi, ' D' Una Citttl Greea
a Terravecchia presso Granmichele in Provincia di Catania,' 3Ion. Aiit. VII. p. 234, fig. 24 ;
Kekule, Ant. Terrakotten, II. p. 9, fig. 4. It seems not unlikely that this figure has reference to
the cult of Hera Antheia.
176. (Plate XLVI. 7.) Standing figure in chiton (edge at neck and waist, with folds at
shoulder and below girdle carefully rendered). Broken at neck and at knees. Right hand holds
a small animal (probably a hare) ; left grasps edge of sleeve of chiton at breast. At back are
marks of a thumb and two fingers. Traces of white. Height, 11 cm. Dark red clay.
Cf . the fragment of a pores statuette, Salzmann, La Necrojmle de Camiros, pi. ix. ; Bernouilli,
Aphrodite, p. 38.
177. Fragments of two replicas of No. 176, showing the same finger-marks at back. Traces of
white. Height, 7.5 cm. and 8.5 cm. respectively. Same clay as No. 176.
178. Twenty fragments of figures similar to Nos. 176 and 177, principally small bits of drapery.
Dark red clay.
179. (Plate XLVI. 11.) Similar archaic figure, broken at neck. She wears chiton with
thick fold between legs, and long overgarment like that of No. 172. Both hands hold attributes —
right, an animal (stag?), left, bow (cf. p. 15). The break at the left shoulder is interesting, as it
shows the method of manufacture by layers — the outer layer is of much finer clay than the inner
(filling) layer. Traces of white. Height, 11.5 cm. Fine, light yellow clay.

180. Four fragments of figures similar to Nos. 166-179, attributes indistinguishable on account
of breakage. Traces of white. Clay, fine, varying from yellow to red.
181. Eight fragments of drapery veiy similar to that of Nos. 166-179, but belonging to hollow
figures with thin walls. Traces of white slip ; slight traces of red. Heights, 4 em. to 13 cm.
Clay, light yellow to red.
182. Basis of large statue of archaic type, with fragment of the figure from the knees down.
The feet are carefully modeled and fairly correct. The bottom is pierced by a round vent. The
chiton was red. Height, 7 cm. Height of plinth, 2 em. Length, 6 cm. Width, 5 cm. Clay,
reddish yellow.
183. Six fragments of similar bases, usually with traces of feet only. General traces of white.
The dimensions vary from 3 cm. X 3.5 cm. to 5.5 cm. X 7.5 cm. Clay, light red to yellow.
184. (Fig. 67.) Very rude seated figure, broken at bottom. The figure varies
little from the standing type, except that it is slightly bent at the middle and has
two supports behind (cf. No. 135). The arms, which are resting on the knees, are
little better than two stumps. On the breast is a pendant. The upper part forms
a rude stephane. The figure hardly appears to be modeled at all, yet the surface
shows plainly that it was. Traces of white. Height, 5.5 cm. Red clay.
185. Similar figure with supports behind. She wears stephane and necklace
with pendant (these made in the mould), and long veil falling to shoulders (a
separate piece added after the figure was complete). Traces of white ; three red
lines on bottom of chiton. Height, 10.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.

TERRA-COTTA FIGURINES
68*) Seated figure, very summary modeling — only feet, hands, and features
brought out at all. The figure rests on a high plinth, whicli was moulded with
it. The hair is a simple baud above forehead. Slie wears a stephane, from which
a veil falls over shoulders. Solid, pierced only by air-vent. Traces of white.
Height, 8 cm. Dark red clay.

at sides and between legs. Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Dark red clay.
197. (Plate XLVI. 16.) Figure similar to No. 192, but with much better treatment of folds
across breast and at waist. The outlines of the legs are also well brought out. The bauds rest on
arms of chair, and both hold round objects (probably apples ; cf. Nos. 172, 173, and p. 15). The
figure is pierced by an air- vent. Traces of white. Height, 7 cm. Dark red clay.

203. Three very similar heads, not, however, flat at back. The features are
archaic. Hair, mass. One head has the polos. Traces of white, of red on polos.
liG. lO. Heights, 3 cm., 3.5 cm., and 4 cm. Clay, light yellow to red.
204. Lower part of crouching male figure with hands (disproportionately large) on knees. The
figure corresponds very closely to one from Megara Hyblaea (cf. Mon. Ant. I. pi. vi. 5), and was
undoubtedly a satyr or silenus. Traces of white. Height, 6 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
205. Lower part of squatting figure, probably a satyr, broken at waist. Hands rest on knees.
Traces of white, sporadic bits of red. Height, 4.5 cm. Light yellow clay.
There is a similar figure in Syracuse, large terra-cotta room, Case IH., from Megara Hyblaea.
206. Rude seated Pan — hollow figure, which probably served as a vase. Modeling very flat, only
face, arms, and syrinx brought out. Slight traces of white. Height, 8.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
207. Head of archaic type, hollow, with vase orifice at the top. The hair seems to be held close
to the skull by a veil. Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Red clay.
208. (Plate XLVH. 13.) Very similar head, also with orifice at top, and casque-like hair-
covering. Traces of white. Height, 6.5 cm. Red clay.
209. Eight fragments of similar heads, badly broken. General traces of white. Yellow clay,
shading to red.
These heads (Nos. 207-209) have the marks of the Rhodian ware as described by Heuzey ( Cat.
des Fig. du Mus. du Louvre, p. 220), " la machoire inferieure osseuse et developpee a I'exces, ce
que nous appelons le menton cfaloche ; de gros yeux triangulaires, dont la paupiere superieure est
seule arquee." They are jirobably, therefore, imported, although a few may be local imitations.
Cf. Heuzey, loc. cit. pp. 229, 230 ; Kekule, Ant. Terrakotten,U. p. 12, fig. 16, and p. 18, fig. 34 ;
Winter, Arch. Am. 1893, p. 147, No. 28 ; Orsi, ' Megara Hyblaea,' 3Ion. Ant. I. ]). 805.
210. (Plate XLVIL 15.) Head of pronounced archaic type — eyes set obliquely to nose,
mouth raised at corners. The headdress is very high, a sort of tiara (the kydaris ?), and from it
a veil falls to the shoulders. Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Clay, light yellow.
211. Three very similar heads, all with same headdress and veil. Slight traces of white.
Heights, 5.5 em., 5.5 cm., and 7 cm. Yellow clay.
These heads (Nos. 210 and 211) again resemble very closely a Rhodian type (cf. Heuzey, Fhj.
du Mus. du Louvre, pi. xi. 2), which is found pretty generally distributed in the basin of the
Mediterranean — in Greece, in Sicily, in Italy, and even in Phoenicia.^ Yet they show some di-
vergences, for instance, the eyes are not set quite so obliquely as those of the Rhodian figures,
and they are not so narrow ; so that they are probably of local manufacture, imitating Rhodian
work, like the Syracusan figures mentioned by Heuzey.^
212. (Plate XLVIL 14.) Archaic head, with elaborate treatment of the hair. This consists
of two rows of curls over the forehead, moulded in the form, then a row of elaborate applied spiral
curls, with eight curls at the back (now broken), the whole topped by a double, twisted taenia.
The eyes are wide and very long, nose in two planes, mouth straight, ending in a pad of flesh at
each corner ; a deep furrow extends from cheek-bone to chin on each side of nose. Traces of
white. Height, 5 cm. Yellow clay.
213. (Plate XL VII. 12.) Large archaic head, very similar to No. 212. Same type of face.
The hair here consisted of a row of scallops moulded in the form, with a row of applied curls above
and large mass behind. The figure had large earrings, now broken. Traces of white. Height,
8.5 cm. Light yellow clay.
These two heads (Nos. 212 and 213) differ greatly from the Argive type. Their nearest

analogy in the HA'aeum finds is the bronze bust, 5, pi. II. 1, 2 ; and in terra-cotta, the head pub-
lislied by Cesnola, Coll. of Cypriote Ant. II' pi. xv. No. 117 (cf. the sculptures, ibid. Ir pi. xciii.
Nos. 622 and 623 ; pi. xcvii. Nos. 662 and 663). We are inclined, therefore, to regard these two
heads as imported.
214. (Platk XLVII. 4.) Head of archaic style, with very sharp features. The hair is an
applied mass at back, marked with notches and bound with a taenia. The ground color is greenish
yellow, to which red was applied on eyes, cheeks, and brows. Hair, red, shading to black. Height,
4.5 em. Yellow clay.
215. Small, very rude bearded masque, slightly chijjped at sides. Eyes and mouth marked by
wide grooves, beard by coarse vertical lines. No trace of color. Height, 5 cm. Red clay.
216. (Plate XLVII. 8.) Archaic female masque, original edge all around. The hair is
moulded in masses. Hole for suspension above forehead. Traces of white. Height, 5.5 cm.
Light yellow clay.
217. Large votive head, broken at right side and at neck. The hair is a row of round bosses,
surmounted by stephane with suspension hole. Modeling sui^erficial. Traces of white. Height,
9 cm. Dark red clay.
218. Very similar head, almost replica, broken at neck, left side of face chipped away. Traces
of white. Height, 7 cm. Clay, dark red.
219. Right side of large votive head, with treatment of hair in four lines of zigzags. Narrow
stephane. Traces of white. Height, 6 cm. Dark yellow clay.
220. Similar fragment, with large round earring. Hair modeled as a mass, topped by stephane.
Traces of white. Height, 8.5 cm. Light yellow clay.
221. (Plate XLVII. 9.) Similar masque with stephane. The hair is treated as short curls.
Hole for suspension in front of stephane. Traces of white. Height, 5.5 cm. Red clay.
222. (Plate XLVII. 6.) Small masque with very high stephane, broken at neck. Ilair,
a line of notches above forehead. Customary hole for suspension. No trace of color. Height,
4 cm. Light yellow clay.
223. Three replicas of No. 222, same clay.
224. Small bust of hasty workmanship, original edge preserved all around. The hair is a
simple mass. Hole for suspension. No trace of color. Height, 8 cm. Greenish yellow clay.
225. (Plate XLVII. 10.) Archaic masque in high stephane, broken only at upper right hand
corner. The hair is treated in two rows of loops. Traces of white. Height, 6.5 cm. Clay, straw.
226. Eight fragments of archaic masques, similar to Nos. 221-225, both with and without
stephane. The suspension hole is common. General traces of white. Yellow clay.
VIII. ADVANCED ARCHAIC.
227. (Fig. 71.) Upper part of standing figure with high
stephane (broken at waist). Hair, a simple roll below stephane.
At the shoulders were two projections (now broken off), which
doubtless served to suspend the figure. Some traces of white
coat. Height, 9.5 cm. Reddish yellow clay.
228. Very similar smaller figure, broken at waist. This figure
also has stephane and projections at shoulders. Two strands of
hair fall in front of left shoulder, one in front of right. Traces of
white. Height, 6 cm. Yellow clay.
229. Lower part of seated figure with hands on knees. The
figure is hollow, like the later terra-cottas of free style. The
folds of the chiton, however, are still represented in a stiff, archaic
fashion. The color is well preserved — white slip, with traces of
applied red. Height, 5 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
230. (Plate XLVII. 11.) Votive head, hair treated in waves
above forehead, and in notches at sides. Stephane, pierced by
suspension hole. Traces of white. Height, 5.5 cm. Dark red clay.

231. Three exact replicas of the preceding, same traces of color ; same clay.
232. Seven heads similar to No. 230, but not replicas. Same treatment of hair ; stephane with
hole for suspension. General traces of white. Height, 4 cm. to 5 cm. Clay, light yellow to red.
233. Twenty-three fragments of similar advanced archaic heads, much mutilated, but probably
all votive heads. General trace of white. Clay, usually red ; one or two specimens are of yellow clay.
f234. (Fig. 72.) Head of advanced archaic style, solid. Hair
treated as a simple mass. Traces of white. Height, 3.5 cm. Light
yellow clay.
235. (Plate XLVIL 1.) Similar head, solid. Hair, mass. Traces

treated in waves over forehead. Traces of white, of red on hair.
Height, 4.5 cm. Dark yellow clay.
237. (Plate XLVH. 5.) Similar head, solid. High coiffure, treated as a
mass. Traces of white. Height, 4 cm. Dark red clay. ^'<'* '^^•
238. (Fig. 78.) Head of similar style. Hair, wavy curls over forehead, and at sides of neck ;
mass at back under veil. Traces of white. Height, 6 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
IX. FREE STYLE.
239. (Plate XLVIL 7.) Fragment of large votive head, broken at left side. The whole
treatment is in large surfaces, free from archaic restraint ; the mouth has the natural curve, the
outlines of the eye are correctly given, even to the lapping of the upper lid over the under. A
ridge down the middle of the face seems to show that the head was made in two pieces. Traces
of white. Height, 8.5 cm. Red clay.
This head, in spite of its fragmentary condition, seems to us to represent the great style of the
fifth century, and has inherent traces of the influence of some large
statue. The peculiar marking of the hair, undercut and thus
relieved from the face, and falling on either side in a mass of curls
(here boldly sketched, though not elaborately modeled), is closely
analogous to the Argive coin in which a copy of the Polycleitan
Hera has been identified. It also suggests a comparison with the
newly identified marble head in the British Museum (see General
Introd. to Sculpture, p. 23). We are thus encouraged to consider
this terra-cotta head as immediately related to the great Polycleitan
Hera. Cf. Waldstein, ' The Argive Hera of Polycleitus,' J. H. S.
XXI. (1901), pp. 30 ff., especially pp. 43, 44, and fig. 2.
240. (Fig. 74.) Votive bust, broken at neck, but with original
edge at waist. The folds of the chiton and of the long veil which falls over the shoulders and the
arms are all given with perfect freedom and naturalness. The figure is covered with a white coat.
Height, 9 cm. Clay, reddish yellow.
X. ANIMALS.
241. (Plate XLVIII. 7 and Fig. 75.) Group, representing a bull attacked by a lion. The
lion grasps the bull around the shoulders and bites him in the neck. The bull is plainly exhausted ;
his head sinks to dhe side, and one of his hind legs is curled up under him, while the other is
stretched straight out behind, as in the well-known Acropolis group. The execution of the group
is fair — the anatomy of the bull's head is quite well given, and the muscles are fairly well
brought out. The fore legs of tlie lion are too long, otherwise he is well modeled ; his mane is
formed of a number of round disks, close together. Technically, it may be noted that the bull
seems to have been made complete (his tail curls over his back), and the lion was then " applied,"
so to speak, to him. White slip ; black lines on forehead of bull and front legs of lion ; red
40 ... TERRA-COTTA FIGURINES
streak at lion's inotith, extending across the bull's neck (probably a representation of blood).
Length, 10 em. Height, 5 cm. Clay, light yellow.
The motive of a bull attacked by one or more lions is one of the oldest, and one of the com-
monest in Greek art. In Mycenaean times, we find rejiresentations of this subject on gems
(cf. Tsountas, 'E.^. 'Apx- 1888, p. 177, No. 25, pi. x. ; ibid. 1889, p. 166, No. 18, pi. x. ; Perrot
et Cliipiez, Ifist. de VArty VI. p. 771, pi. xvi. 21) ; and on an ivory plaque from Sparta (Z?. C.
II. II. [1878], p. 213, pi. xvi. 4). In archaic art it is very common ; cf. for example, the frieze
of the temple of Assos (Clarac, Musee de Sculpture, II. pi. cxvi. B, No. 5) ; the Lycian relief
(Clarac, op. cit. II. pi. ccxxiii. No. 189) ; the relief from Marsala {Arch. Zcit. 1872, pp. 133,
134, pi. li.) ; group from Myra (Fellows, Discoveries in Lyciu, p. 197) ; relief from Xanthus
(^ibid. p. 174) ; frieze from Aezani (Le Bas et Waddington, Vpi/aye Arclieologique en Grece et
en Asie J/iwcMre, atlas, under ' Asie Mineure,'pl. xiv.) ; and especially the Acropolis group (B. C
IT. XIII. [1889], p. 139, and Eev. Arch. XVIII. [1891], p. 137, pi. xiv. bis.). The motive is
also common in branches other than sculpture in stone ; cf . the shield from Amathus published
by Cesnola (Cyprus, pi. xx.) ; the tripod from Vulci (Braun, Annali, 1842, pp. 62 ff. ; Mon.
III. pi. xliii.) ; and the oenochoe (Gerhard, Avs. Vus. II. p. 134, pis. cxxii., cxxiii). In terra-cotta,
I know of no examples except two reliefs — one in Berlin (Gerhard, Ant. Bild. p. 317, pi. Ixxviii.
2), the other in Palermo (Kekule, Aiit. Terrakotten, II. p. 82, pi. liv. 2).
Of all these groups, the Acropolis one approaches most nearly to ours. In both, the bull is
,. plainly exhausted and overcome ; the hind legs even have the
^^^^^^^j w same position in both — that of the " split," and the decoration
^^^^^V J^^^ in red stripes is common to both. In fact, it seems probable
^^^^^^k '^^'^'^^^^^ ^^^^ ^^'' gi'oiip ^^s copied from a work of sculpture similar to
WH^Mk ^^tr tlie Acropolis group, and dates from about the same time, i. e.,
^^^ ^ the first half of the sixth century B. C.
— 242. (Plate XLVIII. 11.) Fragment of a centaur, top of
head, legs, and horse's body missing. The break at buttocks
shows plainly that the figure was a centaur. He has a long, pointed beard, in which a triangular
hole marks the mouth. The left hand is pressed against the left hip ; the right was apparently
raised. White slip. Height, 6.5 cm. Light yellow clay.
Cf. the figure from Liuiniti, Arch. Anz. 1889, p. 88, E.
243. (Plate XLVIII. 6.) Horse carrying a woman of primitive type. She faces the horse's
right side, and no saddle is represented. Eyes and breasts of woman and eyes of horse are
applied disks. White slip, with applied red lines on neck, waist, and knees of woman. Height,
6.5 cm. Red clay.
Reinach, in a study of female figures associated with horses {La JVecropoIe de 3Iyrina, pp.
401 ff.), comes to the conclusion that " Ton pent hesiter entre Eos, Selene et Aphrodite, mais sans
exclure la possibilite d'une autre hypothese." At Argos, a figure like No. 243 is much more likely
to be associated with Hera iim-to? (cf. Paus. V. 15. 5), but this cannot be regarded as anything
more than a conjecture.
244. (Plate XLVIII. 2.) Mounted warrior of the ordinary primitive type. Face, a beak,
with disks for eyes; high helmet. He has no shield, but extends his arms to the sides of the
horse's head. Traces of white. Height, 7.5 cm. Red clay.
245. (Plate XLVIII. 4.) Similar warrior, with large shield on left arm. Only neck and
shoulders of horse are preserved. Traces of white. Height, 9 cm. Red clay.
246. (Plate XLVIII. 3.) Similar warrior, no part of horse preserved. The warrior wears
a peculiar helmet, the effect of which resembles that of the American "cocked hat." White slip.
Height, 7 cm. Light yellow clay.
247. Forty-five fragments of similar figures, all more or less broken. They usually show traces
of a white slip. Clay, usually red.
For this very common type, cf. Martha, Cat. des Fig. du Mus. d'Atkenes, Nos. 602, 603 (from
Tegea) ; Jamot, B. C. II. XIV. (1890), pp. 217 ff. (Tanagra figures) ; Cesnola, Coll. of
Cypriote Antiquities, IIP pi. Ixix.

2.5 cm. Red clay.
256. (Plate XLVIII. 23.) Cock, practically unbroken. White slip, traces of red on comb
and wattles. Height, 7 cm. Yellow clay.
257. (Plate XLVIII. 14.) Small human-headed bird, with ring for suspension. The face is

(loc. cit. p. 11), in regarding this figure as a Siren or Harpy, borrowed by the Greeks from the
Egyptian representation of tlie soul.
258. (Fig. 76.) Cock, broken at neck. The background is cut away all around, and the

THE TERRA-COTTA RELIEFS
THE TERRACOTTA RELIEFS'
By CHARLES WALDSTEIN and JOSEPH CLARK HOPPIN
The Terra-Cotta Reliefs form a portion of the interesting finds among the ohjects of
the lesser arts which the excavations at the Argive Heraeum has yielded. The greater
number of them were found during the first season in 1892, in what we termed the
" black layer " below the foundation walls of the Second Temple. Though we are not
justified in saying that this black layer ran continuously round the foundations of
the whole Temple, earth of this consistency, containing objects of the same character,
was found at so many points in the filling for the Second Temple that a certain degree
of continuity may be assumed. Still, at times, the black earth was found in greater
thickness and the objects in greater profusion ; so that we were led to use the term
" pockets." Other specimens were discovered, chiefiy on the south and southwest slopes,
in the third layer of earth which had been massed as filhng for the Second Temple ; so that
on the whole, the provenience of all these objects may be designated as the filling below
the Second Temple. The chronology of all objects found in this filling would thus be
fixed in the one direction as being prior to the year 423 B. c. The other hmit cannot be
determined in the same way by the conditions of excavation ; especially as objects mani-
festly belonging to widely different periods were found together in this filling. We may,
however, anticipate and mention one fact which will necessitate fuller explanation on
some future occasion, namely, that none of these terra-cottas were found on the same
level as the Mycenaean walls erected on the bed-rock below the filling. Further points,
in so far as they can now be determined, will be noted as we examine each individual
fragment.
The terra-cotta reliefs will be considered in two groups : first, those that ornamented
flat objects of terra-cotta — plaques, tiles, innakes, bricks, etc. ; and, secondly, those that
evidently formed parts of terra-cotta vessels or vases decorated ui relief. We shall in
this chapter confine our study to the former group.
These plaques (Plate XLIX.) are ten '-' in number ; they are all, with the exception of
Nos. 9 and 10, in a more or less fragmentary condition.
1. Winged figure to right, legs in profile, head and body en face. Upper left corner missing.
Length, 0.14 m. ; width, 0.085 m. ; thickness, 0.008 m. Found on the Second Temple Terrace.
2-4. Rectangular reliefs, bordered by incuse circles, the centres of which are raised, inclosing
two square fields. In each field, a winged figure running or flying to left.
2. Length, 0.07 m. ; width, 0.085 m. : thickness, 0.026 m.
3. Length, 0.10 m. ; width, 0.085 ni. ; thickness, 0.027 m.
4. Length, 0.117 m.; width, 0.073 m. ; thickness, 0.023 m.
All these were found in or back of the South Stoa.
5. Form similar to No. 2, rectangular field. Two men facing each other with uplifted arms.
Leno-th, 0.096 m. : width, 0.086 m. : thickness, 0.031 m. Second Temple Terrace.
' This chapter, descriptive of them, is here reproduced = An eleventh fragment, similar in form to No. 2, but
as published in the American Journal of Archaeology with only a foot showing in the field, was too much muti-
(vol. II. 1898, pp. 173-186), with slight corrections and lated to be published,
additions.

6. Part of a rectangular relief,*i-epreseiiting a bearded man in a chariot, driving a quadriga.
Length, 0.085 m. ; width, 0.087 ni. ; thickness, nearly 0.01 ni.

Length, 0.0G9 m. ; width, 0.43 m. ; thickness, 0.01 m. Both Nos. 6 and 7 from the Second
Temple Terrace.
8 a and b. Two fragments from the same relief. Incuse circles as in No. 2, bordering square
fields. Also a rosette with eight leaves.
(a.) Fore part of Centaur to right, holding a branch. In the field, rosettes formed of four leaves
and four diamonds alternating.
Length, 0.091 m. ; width, 0.079 m. ; thickness, 0.018 m.
(b.) Lower portion of a kneeling figure to left.
Length, 0.067 m. ; width, 0.056 m. ; thickness, 0.02 m. Found back of the South Stoa.
9. Small square relief, well preserved. Above, an extension pierced by a hole. In the field, a
lion to right.
Length, 0.05 m. ; width, 0.045 m. ; thickness, 0.014 m. From east of the Chambers on the
Second Temple Terrace.
10. Small rectangular relief. Two women in a chariot to right, driving a quadriga. Upper
part pierced by a hole.
Length, 0.054 m. ; height, 0.046 m. ; thickness, 0.01 m. Pi-obably found back of the South
Stoa.
All these plaques, with the exception of No. 8, are made of a fine reddish clay. No. 8, however,
is made of a very coarse greenish yellow clay, in which small stones are visible.
The question what purpose these plaques served is not easily determined. There are
two classes of ancient metal relief work : rejMiisse, or beaten work, and pressed, or
stamped work. The stamped work, especially in soft and thin gold, was evidently made
from a mould * upon which the thin metal was pressed. The use of so brittle a material
as clay, however hard the baking may have made it, and however thick such brick-like
plaques as Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 5 may be, would be strange. Still it is not impossible that
the examples just mentioned may have served that purpose. All these reliefs are influ-
enced to some degree by the style suggested by metal work. It is not impossible that
they may have served as " backing " for a thin coating of metal. But this is not likely,
because for this the same objection of the softness and brittleness of the material might
be adduced. Moreover, there is no trace whatever on their surface that such a covering
existed. And, considering the peculiar adhesive effect the oxydization of bronze exerts
on extraneous objects (many vases being found at the Heraeum to which bronze objects
were stuck fast), it is inconceivable that no traces of such a covering should have been
found. A specimen of a mould in terra-cotta was found at the Heraeum, 0.11 m. in
length, 0.7 m. in width, and about 0.01 m. in thickness, flat on one side and curved
on the other. In the flat side were several holes of varying shapes, sunk to a depth
of several millimetres. A cast taken from this mould showed a series of objects, one
of which undoubtedly represented a moUusk, the murex, or purple shell, so common on
Mycenaean vases. The artist has made the common mistake in representing this shell
sinistral instead of dextral ; he has also made the anterior canal too wide. Whether the
others represent nuts, fruit, or seeds of various shapes, we cannot decide. The nearest
analogies to such a mould are found in Naucratis,' and the so-called " cake-stamps "
{Naukratis, I. p. 45, pi. 29), which are clearly of a very late date. Mr. Cecil Smith
' See a good instance of this in the bronze mould in the ^ Cf . also Evans, J. H. S. VII. p. 44, and Introduc-

informs us that there are in the British Museum, thus far unpublished, stamps of a
similar shape to ours, but none with the same subject. The presence of the murex
might point to a somewhat early date for our mould, but there is no further clue to the
date.
That all these plaques are ex votos is the only natural explanation of their existence at
the Heraeum. Nos. 9 and 10 certainly serve that purpose, as the holes in their upper
parts for hanging them up show, and Nos. 1, 6, and 7 can hardly be anything else.
The technical method seems to have been the same in all, namely, that the clay was
stamped while soft, and afterwards fired. Nos. 8 and 9 present the peculiarity of being
treated with a sharp knife after firing, in order to express details and to emphasize lines ;
this is apparent from the knife-marks on the surface of the clay, and from the fact that
in several places the outlines have been trimmed down, leaving a fainter line at the back
of the relief.
No. 1. — This relief is especially interesting in that while, as we shall see, it manifests
Hellenic elements, it has traces of Oriental influence more strongly marked than the
others. In fact, we may say that the terra-cottas in relief manifest the ' Oriental ' charac-
ter in far greater proportion and pronouncedness than is the case with the terra-cotta
figurines in the round. While we found but few specimens among our many hundred
figurines which bore clear traces of Oriental influence, the proportion of terra-cotta reliefs
which show this influence is very large, and, as in No. 1, this Oriental character is clear
and pronounced. This is a very significant fact, strengthening, as it does, our convic-
tion, based upon much testimony from other quarters, that Greek sculpture in the round,
the statue of pure art, is a specifically Greek development ; while Oriental influences only
find their way into Greece through the channels of decoratim art, especially through
ornamental vessels in ceramic art and metal work.
The subject represented is, at first sight, quite simple. It is a nude, winged figure.
The upper part of the body, as well as the head, is in fidl face, while the lower part from
the waist downwards is in profile. This want of unity in composition is the rule with
reliefs, as well as figures in the round, of this early period. Such inconsistency in atti-
tude, by a curious effect of conventionalism, survived long after the artists had advanced
beyond this point of archaic awkwardness. Ceramic art is a case in point, since not till
after the Persian wars was this conventionality abandoned, and instances in sculpture are
too numerous to mention.
The head ' is surrounded by a mass of hair, which falls down to the shoulder on both
sides in a heavy, ribbed mass, while over the forehead it Hes in waves. On the left eye
is a slight indentation which at first sight seems like an iris, but which on a careful
examination proves to be merely accidental, no such hole being apparent in the other
eye. The nose is flat and the mouth hard and straight, a slight effort being made to
model the lips and chin. The scheme of the hair is strikingly like that of the Melian
or the Tenean Apollo.
The wings present this peculiarity, that they grow directly from the breast, in front of
the shoulders, which they entirely conceal. The arms are comparatively thin, a result,
perhaps, of the difficulty the artist found in dealing with several different planes, the
arms being drawn behind the wings.
Whether the figure is male or female is difficult to decide, but it is more probably the
> The head of this figure resembles slightly that of the female Centaur on the Relief Vase in the Louvre. Cf.
De Ridder in B. C. H. 1898, pis. iv. and v.
50 THE TERRA-COTTA RELIEFS
former. When it is carefully exaininetl, the traces of a very short wavy chiton can be
discovered, at a slight distance below the waist. Female figures in archaic art are never
represented, as far as we know, hi a chiton of such shortness. Though there are many
points of difference, a coni2)arison of this plaque Avith the bronze relief from the Acro-
polis' induces us to beheve that our figure is male.
The thighs are large in proportion to the body, with careful modeling of the mnscles,
especially about the knee. The nates are small in proportion to the thighs, a peculiarity
seen also on the Selinus Metope of Heracles and the Cercopes. The legs from the knee
downwards are extremely thin, similar to those of the Tenean Apollo. In fact, our relief
seems to afford a mixture of the exaggerated muscularity of the Selinus Metope and the
slimness of the Tenean Apollo.
The attitude of the figure is not necessarily that of one walking, but is due rather to
the inability of the artist to represent the legs and feet from the front. What the hands
hold is clearly not a wreath, but a conventionalized flower or branch. This forms part
of the action itself, since each hand holds an end of the ornament, and it thus becomes a
sort of contaminatio of a plant and scroll ornamenting the background, introduced at
the same time into the action of the figure itself. This action is, in reality, a reminis-
cence of the well-known " Thierbandigerschema," ' of which the Persian Artemis,^ falsely
so called, is a good example. The winged figure in this connection was one of the types
adopted by the Greeks, and was remodeled to suit their own peculiar needs, since, though
the Hellenic character of the Persian Artemis is now established, no one denies that the
original type was a foreign importation. The addition of the wings seems to be a fea-
ture of the later archaic art,* since they are certainly unknown as attributes of the human
figure in Mycenaean or Geometric art, nor do we find them on the "Island Stones." °
The mythological significance of the relief, if such it has, is not clear to us. We can
only say that it is a winged figure treated in an ornamental manner. We use the term
" ornamental " advisedly, with a more literal signification than is generally given ; for
one of the most peculiar and striking features of this representation is the action of the
figure. The winged " genius " is holding in both hands a mere ornament, a decorative
design, which certainly is no implement of use, nor has it any special significance. But
the use made of it here is quite distinctive and original. It is as if the decorative feeling
of the modeler of the plaque had been so strong that it obtruded itself into his represen-
tation of a human figure, becoming an integral part of the attitude and action, at the
expense of the logic of representation, as far as the human figure itself is concerned.
This introduction of the ornament seems to point to two customs in the decoration or
framing of scenes and representations of figures on vases, bronzes, terra-cottas, etc. ;
namely, the continuous scroll or other ornament bordering these scenes, as with a frame,
and the introduction of ornaments into the field or background, which the Germans have
called " Flillornamente." Such framing bands and " FuUornamente " are the composite
motives which appear to have led the artist to introduce this new form of ornament into
the field of this reUef .
We have had occasion to cite the " Persian Artemis " as an analogy to our figure. A
direct repetition of the motive of our plaque may be found on a bronze plaque from

Dodona,' but of a manifestly later date. Here, however, the ornament has heen treated
in a precisely sunilar fashion, the ends of the scroll l)ein<>- held in each hand. In spite
of the lateness of the Dodona plaque, a quasi-Oriental influence may easily be detected.
A similar position of hands may be noticed on the Euphorbus plate."
An almost exact duplicate of our figure may be found on the gold hormus from
Camirus.^ Though the centaur, with whom our figure invites comparison, has no wings,
the most striking similarity of style is noticeable when we compare the two. The treat-
ment of the hair, body, nates, and legs is identical. The wings are supplied by the Arte-
mis on the same jewel, and, moreover, present the same peculiarity we have commented on
before, namely, that they grow directly from the breast, concealing the upper part of the
arm and shoulder. Our figure, in fact, might almost be composed by a combination of
the centaur and the Artemis on the hormus. This jewel, which is certainly Rhodian,
exhibits more than any other work known to us so marked a similarity of style and
technique with our plaque as to suggest some very close connection between them.
More than this we do not venture to say, since it has not yet been determined whether
Rhodians were influenced by Argives, or vice versa. It may well be the case that the
Rhodian types are derived from Argos, since Camirus, according to legend, was a colony
of Argos, founded by the Heraclid Tlepolemus,* and was counted as one of the towns
of the Doric Hexapolis. The presence, also, of the Argive alphabet in Rhodes is well
known. (Cf. the Argive lambda on the Euphorbus plate.) As a last comparison, we
might mention a relief somewhat similar in style, but probably earlier, found at Aegina.'
This relief exhibits the greatest similarity in the treatment of the hair. That it is Pelo-
ponnesian and not Aeginetan seems fairly evident.
In summing up, we may say that, while our plaque exhibits Hellenic features, espe-
cially in the modeling of the figure, the spirit of the composition and the introduction of
the wings are distinctly of Oriental origin. Moreover, we find absolutely no Mycenaean
or Geometric elements, but those which are characteristic of the early Corinthian vases.
We are forced, however, to assign our relief to a slightly later date than those vases
which exhibit this " Thierbiindigerschema," since the conventional and decorative treat-
ment of the ornament of our plaque, admittedly without a meaning, is certainly later
than this schema, not earlier. Therefore Ave may assign it approximately to the begin-
ning of the seventh century b. c. Even in the best period of Greek art, such a deco-
rative solecism may be met with, as, for instance, in the beautiful red-figured vase of
astragalus shape, signed tvpi(TKo<; eVoteo-e, in the Papa Giulio Museum at Rome.
Nos. 2-5. — These are all of similar technique, and evidently contemporaneous. Frag-
mentary as they are, we have still enough to show that their dimensions were from 0.10
to 0.12 m. long and 0.7 to 0.9 m. wide. Of aU our rehefs, these show the metal influ-
ence in a most marked manner, the incuse circles being probably an imitation of the nail-
heads used to fasten bronze sheathing to wood, while the division into fields, as well as
the technique, finds its parallel in the series of bronze reliefs from Olympia," Dodona,'
the Acropolis,* and the temple of the Ptoan Apollo.^ The subject of the reliefs Nos. 2-4

is the same : two winged figures moving iaj)idly to the left in the usual " knielaiif-
schema." ' What the objects are they hold in their hands cannot be determined with
certainty ; that in the right hand is paralleled by a similar object in the hands of the
figures on the terra-cotta reliefs from Sicily " of later style. Kekule, however, refrains
from defining these objects. That in the left hand resembles an axe. To identify these
figures as gorgons seems impossible, and we must be content merely to term them winged
daemons. They are similar in style to the reliefs from Olympia,' which contain figures
called by Furtwiingler " Daimons," retracting the view he had previously expressed in
Roscher's Lerlcon* It is impossible to tell whether the figures are male or female,
though the latter seems more probable considering their similarity to the figures on the
relief previously cited, which are certainly female. It may be here noticed that these
figures bear a strong resemblance to the " Nike of Archermus," but with the same differ-
ence that we shall jilainly see when we compare them with gorgons. Such monsters,
wliile generally represented in the " knielauf-schema," ' have always the body in profile
and head en face, and in the case of our figures both head and body are represented in
profile. Moreover, our figures are not holding the usual bird or animal. Only one relief
in terra-cotta of similar technique, though of different subject, is known to us ; " it repre-
sents the Persian Artemis in profile, holding a bird in each hand. The incuse circles
are precisely similar to our reliefs, and a rosette there is similar to those on No. 8.
Though little connection may be assumed between the Persian Artemis and our daemons,
we see that the same Oriental influence was at work at the time of their manufacture.
No. 5. — What the subject of No. 5 represents is extremely doubtful, and several inter-
pretations are open to us. It might be a boxing match, if such be the correct identifica-
tion of the two Olympia reliefs (Olympia, IV. pis. 39, 703, 704 a ; cf. also Furtwiingler,
Bronzefunde, p. 91), or the similar group on the Geometric vase of Copenhagen.'' A
certain similarity may be detected if we compare our relief with a group on the well-
known Tripod vase from Tanagra in Berlin.* Save that no traces of a wreath can be
discovered, the scene on our relief further resembles one of the Ptoan reliefs already
cited {B. O. H. 1892, pi. xi. 3 ; No. 45 in De Bidder, op. cit). Again, were it not for
the lack of the tripod, a connection might be assumed with the scene on the mould in
the Ashmolean Museum we have already referred to. Perhaps we might recognize in
it the a/cpoxei/3to-/Aos or the preliminaries of the wrestling match. Instances of this have
been identified in several monuments.'' Or perhaps the action of our relief may be only
a salutation. More than this we cannot say.
In style there is a closer analogy between this relief and bronze relief work than is the
case with Nos. 2, 3, and 4. The treatment of the figures is precisely identical with that
of the above-mentioned Ptoan relief, both in the hair and in the build of the bodies.
The profiles, too, are similar. Thus the question of dating our plaques becomes much

simplified. For, though we cannot say with absohite certainty whioli of the two is eavHer,
the fact that tliey are contemporaneous (at least they would both belong to tlie same
decade) is too evident to be doubted. These bronze reliefs belong approximately to tlie
beginning of the seventh century, which gives us a similar date for our rehefs.
No. 6. — This design here seems rather more advanced in style. The subject of a char-
ioteer in his chariot was not only common through Egyptian and Assyrian art, but was a
favorite theme throughout the whole Mycenaean period, as is shown by the grave-stelae
found by Schliemann at Mycenae. We owe the introduction of the quadriga to the
Dipylon period, from which certain features of our relief are evidently derived, namely,
the connection of the pole to the wagon by a rope or staff extending from the dashboard.'
The dvTvi has the usual curved form seen on Egyptian wagons, and the wheels are of the
common type found on most of the Dipylon chariots. A counterpart of this group may
be found on the Frangois vase,^ the figure of Zeus in his chariot at the marriage proces-
sion of Peleus and Thetis. In fact, we are in a position to date this relief between the
Dipylon period and the Francois vase. Its Hellenic origin need not be questioned ; there
is certainly no trace of Ionic influence.
No. 7. — The technique of No. 7 is vastly inferior. It has also suffered far more from
abrasion. This makes it difficult to decide whether one or two persons are represented
in the chariot, more probably only one. Doubt also exists as to whether the charioteer
is holdmg the reins or is in the act of shooting an arrow, and from the curious posi-
tion of the body with regard to the chariot, a certain similarity may be deduced with the
marble relief^ from the Acropolis of the figure mounting a chariot. At all events,
the chariot shows the same influence as No. 6. Its chief peculiarity lies in the fact that
but one horse is represented, which fact must be assigned to the incompetence of the
artist, since never, in Greek art, does a chariot of this form, drawn by one horse, occur.
Nos. 8 a and b. — That these fragments fit together is fairly evident ; but unfortunately
the sides of the fracture, owing to the soft texture of the clay, have been considerably
worn away, and thus the breaks, while following the same lines, do not coincide exactly.
Still, the foot in the upper right-hand corner of a is the continuation of the leg of the
figure in b. Aside from its peculiar technique, to which we have already called atten-
tion, its chief interest lies in the seeming irregularity. Portions of three fields are pre-
served, two of which are separated by the same incuse circles met with in Nos. 2, 3, 4,
and 5. The rosette of a falls beneath the field of b, being used instead of an incuse
circle, as we found in the case of the Lenormant plaque from Mycenae. It is impossible,
however, to tell the general form of the relief, how many fields it contained, or what
subject is represented. As in the case of Nos. 2 to 5, the connection between this and
the metal reliefs is obvious.
The centaur, the chief figure of the relief, is represented with a horse's fore legs plainly
visible, though their lower part is missing. This type of a centaur with the fore legs
of a horse is later than that with human fore legs.* When exactly the later type was
introduced cannot be determined, there being no distinct dividing line between the two
types, which often appear side by side.'' On archaic gems," however, only the later type
occurs. Evidently the two styles continued together for a considerable period. So far

54 THE TEURA-COTTA RELIEFS
as can be judged from other nionumettts which ilhistrate the later type, we are justified
iu regarding our rehef as one of the earUest examples of that type.
To restore the kneeling figure is impossible. It suggests faintly the " knielauf," but
that can hardly be the action. The position of the legs resembles to a certain degree
that of the figure on the metal relief from Olympia.* As no trace of a bow or arrow can
be found on our figure, its reconstruction as an archer is impossible. Apart from the
carefulness of detail, the di-ess of the figure is a most interesting feature. The figure
wears a broad belt, and above it the fines of the chiton are indicated by incisions in the
clay. No trace of any lower garment can be discovered. Whether this, as well as the
fact that the sex of the figure is not indicated, points to any intention on the part of
the artist to denote a close-fitting undei--garment is doubtful. Carelessness is again the
probable explanation. This garb is paralleled by the figures on the Vaphio cups," which
wear the broad belt continued below the waist as a sort of breech-cloth, though the upper
part of the body is left bare. The portion remaining of the third field is so small that
we cannot determine what the figure was. It might be the rear jjortion of a bird, and
the whole a figure of the Persian Artemis type.
While assigning an Hellenic origin to No. 8, we must nevertheless class it among the
works of the so-called Oriental Greek style, of which the Argive-Corinthian is a part.
The incuse circles we have already discussed ; the rosette is a favorite form of decoration
all through the " Corinthian " period, besides occurring on bronze reliefs.^ The orna-
ment above the centaur is characteristic, and may be found on a Melian vase.* Here we
have the use of the ornament in the field as an instance of the horror vaciii so charac-
teristic throughout the " Corinthian " period, a feature which does not obtain in the
succeeding periods. We may, therefore, be justified in assigning this relief to the end
of the seventh century, perhaps a little later. Earlier than the spread of the Oriental
influence it cannot be.
Nos. 9 and 10. — These fragments properly belong together, since both are complete
and illustrate admirably the pinax form. This in itself Avould show their connection
with the Corinthian pinakes ® in Berlin, since the pinax does not seem to have been used
prior to this period. The lion on No. 9 is chiefly remarkable for the enormous size of
his head in proportion to his body. From the absence of any ornaments in the field, as
well as from this peculiarity of head, which strongly resembles tliat of the Hons on " Early
Attic " vases," we should feel incHned to assign this plaque or pinax to a later stage of
the Corinthian period, perhaps about the early part of the sixth century. No. 10, on the
other hand, shows traces of Dipylon characteristics. In spite of the abrasion from which
the rehef has sufi'ered, it is evident that two women are represented, but in a more
advanced style than is characteristic of the Dipylon period ; the horses, however, show
the feeling of Dipylon art. Nothing of the chariot is plain, except that the wheels are
probably four-spoked, though even this cannot be decided. No. 10 is to be assigned to
a later date than the Dipylon period, but probably earlier than No. 6.

THE ARGIVE HERAEUM.— TERRA COTTA RELIEFS
THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
THE A ASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
By JOSEPH CLARK HOPPIN
PREFACE
The publication of the Vases and Vase Fragments from the Heraeum has proved a far
more arduous task than I expected when the work was intrusted to me eight years ago.
As the time for committing it to the press approaches, I am keenly conscious of its many
shortcomings, for, in the six years which have elapsed since the completion of the work
and its final revision before going to press, the quantity of new material found in Greece,
which might serve to throw new hght upon many of the problems the vases from the
Heraeum afforded, has increased enormously, and the greater part of it, being as yet
unpublished, has been inaccessible to me. I could also wish that it had been possible
for me to make the final revision of the work in Athens, with the actual material at my
command, since I realize very clearly that many of the points which have presented
themselves to me during the six years since I left Athens must remain all too supei--
ficially treated, owing to incomplete notes and a memory sometimes treacherous. Such
cases, I hope, will not prove of vital detriment to the value of the work.
Two facts must be mentioned to secure a fair understanding of the work. First,
owing to the smallness of the means at my command, I am unable to publish the mate-
rial as I had originally hoped, and consequently have omitted much which, though not
of supreme importance, would have been of distinct benefit had it been possible to retain
it. Secondly, I see very clearly that the enormous mass of material should, to secure the
best results, have occupied the attention of several workers for at least twice the length
of time I have been able to devote to it. Thus the work as it now appears is a small
selection of the total material, and cannot in the strictest sense be called either final or
complete. I have endeavored as far as possible to present, or at least to mention, all the
types and classes that were found; but important omissions must inevitably occur when
over two hundred thousand fragments are to be dealt with. Classes like the Geometric
or Argive should each be treated in as much space as the whole of this volume, if their
elaboration were to be considered final. But the desire to make known to the world as
soon as possible the results of one of the most important modern excavations has induced
us all to hasten the completion of our several tasks, and leave the various finer points to
be more carefully investigated by our successors.
It is a great pleasure, on the completion of my task, to look back on the warm friends
it has brought me, and to thank them for the many and various kindnesses received at
their hands. First and foremost, I wish to thank most heartily my friend and chief,
Professor Charles Waldstein, for the ready help and encouragement he has always given
me, for his keen and intelligent interest in my work, and for the various suggestions and
theories he has outlined for my benefit. The departure from Athens at the end of the
first year's work of Dr. Theodore Woolsey Heermance, who had shared with me the dis-
agreeable task of cleaning and sorting the fragments, deprived me of most valuable assist-
58 PREFACE
ance during the more interesting stage o£ studying and classifying the material ; and I
feel sure that, had it been possible for him to have shared the responsibility of the whole
work with me, the result would have been far more satisfactory. I am indebted to hun
for the Appendix on the inscriptions that have been found on some of the fragments.
Mr. Cecil Smith of the British Museum will always have my warmest gratitude for the
many kindnesses and useful suggestions so ungrudgingly given me during my work iu
London.
Further, I wish to express my thanks to Messrs. Kavvadias, Stais, and Tsountas of the
National Museimi at Athens, for their courtesy and kindness in extending to me, during
my three years in Athens, the utmost privileges of the Museum ; to Professor Wolters
and Dr. Zahn of the German Archaeological Institute at Athens, for putting the material
from the Acropolis and Aegina so openly at my disposal ; and to Mr. David Hogarth,
sometime Director of the British School at Athens, for an opportunity of seeing the
pottery found iu his excavation at Melos. I have also received many valuable suggestions
from Professor Ernest Gardner of University College, London, Mr. Paul Perdrizet of
the French School at Athens, and Mr. Carr Bosanquet, Director of the British School at
Athens.
I must not forget to thank Mr. Gilheron and Herr Rohrer for their careful and pains-
taking work in preparing the drawings and photographs. I am especially grateful to
Janni Papadakis, vase-mender in the National Museum at Athens, who for three years
helped and spared me in every way.
Last of all, I wish to express to my dear friend. Professor Richard Norton, Director of
the American School at Rome, my grateful thanks for reading the manuscript of the
work during its preliminary stage (a labor of love), and for the valuable suggestions he
has given me.
NOTE.
In fairness to this section of the Heraeum publication the following facts should be stated. The manuscript
was delivered to the committee on April 1, 1899. Two years later, in the hope of a speedy publication, it
was revised as thoroughly as circumstances permitted. At the present date (November, 1903) the larger
part has been in type for a year and a half, and any further revision is impossible for many obvious reasons
without a complete rearrangement of the material. That it should not have been possible to consider the
vases and fragments from the Heraeum in connection with the new phases of the Mycenaean era revealed by
the recent excavations in Crete, no one regrets more than the writer.

INTllODUCTION
Eakly ill the autumn of 1895, Dr. Heermaiice and I began cleaning the fragments of
vases. These had been brought up from Argos to Athens in small baskets,' and included
fragments varying from a foot square to pieces no larger than a finger-nail. None had
been touched save a few baskets of the first and second year's digging, which had under-
gone a very superficial cleaning two winters before. Every fragment was thickly coated
with a hard crust of dirt, and hydrochloric acid proved the only satisfactory cleanser.
Large bowls were used containing a solution, two thirds acid and one third water, into
which a basketful of fragments was put, stirred round for a few minutes, and then care-
fully rinsed in fresh water to avoid any after-effects of the acid. The fragments were
then sorted, each class in separate baskets, laid out, and a search made for the component
parts of a vase, a task attended with very unsatisfactory results, since in only a few cases
could a vase be reconsti'ucted in anything like entirety.
The number of fragments was enormous. No less than two hundred and sixty-five
baskets, all more or less full, Avere cleaned. Owing to the removal of a good deal of
waste du't and closer packing of the baskets, the total material was compressed into about
one hundred and fifty baskets. Just how many fragments were included is difficult to
say ; some baskets which contained large fragments held perhaps several hundred, while
in others containing small fragments of the Argive and Corinthian classes, the number
amounted to two or three thousand. Roughly speaking, the total number of fragments
was about two hundred and fifty thousand. The final sorting gave the following propor-
tion to the various classes : —
Plain 50 Baskets.
Glazed 30 "
Primitive ........... 2 "
Mycenaean ........... 13 "
Geometric ........... 25 "
Argive ............ 20 "
Corinthian ........... 5 "
Black- and Red-Figured ......... 2 "
Miscellaneous .......... 3 "
150 "
By " plain " are meant all fragments which bore no decoration of any kind what-
ever.- These included a large number of fragments of Mycenaean and Geometric vases,
but the biUk consisted of coarse fragments of wheel-made vases, which might belong to
any period. In " glazed " are included all fragments which had been covered with a
dark brown or black glaze, generally dull, but without other decoration. Some few

* It must also be remembered that the bulk of the undoubtedly included a large number belonging to the
fragments found at the excavation had no decoration of " Primitive" class, their number would have been mate-
any kind, and were therefore not preserved, but thrown rially increased.
LOCATION OF THE FRAGMENTS 61
of these belonged to vases of the Black or Red-Figured period, but the bulk bore no
distinguishing characteristics. In addition to the whole number, five baskets contained
vases in an intact or in sHghtly broken condition.
The proportion of the various sites was as follows : —
South West Corner 50 baskets \ S. Stoa
S. E. Side 6 " ( 1894 &
S. Side, outside peribolos wall 3 " ) '95
Old Temple 10 "
Above Cyclopean wall . 7 "
Above Upper Stoa ........ 6 "
E. of chambers 20 "
S. E. of Second Temple . ...... 5 "
W. Building 2 "
N. W. Building 5 "
First year of excavation 30 "
Unknown .......... 6 "
150 "
Baskets of the first year's digging contained fragments from the Second Temple Ter-
race, but no more definite information is preserved. Fragments of every kind were
found in all these places, but certain classes were more common in certain spots than in
others ; for insttmce, on the Old Temple Terrace ' and in the corner of the second platform
below the Cyclopean wall and east of the Chambers, the Geometric fragments were much
more numerous than any other kind, while in the southwest corner (east of the retaining
wall of the West Building) Mycenaean predominated. The Argive (so-called Proto-
Corinthian) style was found in greatest quantities in the southwest corner and on the
Old Temple Terrace. Other classes were divided with comparative evenness all through
the excavation.
Little advantage is to be gained from the knowledge (in the case of the vases, at least)
whence each separate fragment came. Throughout the preliminary stages of the work
the fragments from each spot were kept carefully separate, but this proved impossible
after the task of piecing them was begun. In several cases fragments from the same
vase were found several hundred yards apart. It must be remembered that no apparent
ti-ace of layers which could be chronologically divided was observable in any of the
different finding places, for the pockets where the fragments abounded in greatest
quantity showed that the material had been shoveled in helter-skelter, and it was quite
usual to find Mycenaean fragments near the top and Argive near the bottom. In the
case of vases of any especial importance, the finding place will always be given in the
course of this work.
It is extremely difficult to make a precise estimate of the number of vases which
these fragments represent. The number of vases intact or only shghtly broken amounted
to a little more than a thoustmd. From the fragments about ten vases were reconstructed
almost entirely, about fifty partially so ; while those represented by only half a dozen
fraoroents apiece amounted to between two and three hundred. If we should make the
extremely modest calculation of four or five fragments to a vase, we should have about
fifty thousand vases.

his recollection tliis statement is not correct. My only contained numerous fragments of the Geometric style,
authority for the statement is that several of the baskets,
62 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
In planning this work, I have endeavored, as^far as possible, to model it on Furtwangler
and Loesehcke's Mi/kenische Vasen. The chief difficulty experienced among such an
enormous mass of fragments was in making a collection for publication which should be
representative. In doing so I preferred to err on the side of presenting more fragments
than were absolutely necessary, believing that such a plan was better than presenting too
little, but I have not hesitated to omit types which are universally known.
Roughly speaking, the Heraeum vase fragments cover almost the whole period of Greek
ceramic art from its birth to its decline, a period of perhaps over two thousand years.
It will be further shown how the bulk of this material is characteristic of the Argolid, a
genuine home industry, and that little was imported. The indigenous types represented
are: —
Prehistoric.
Mycenaean.
Geometric.
Argive.
Local (or types which have no prototypes).
Foreign (i. e. imported) types are :
Corinthian.
Early Attic.
Attic Black-Figured.
Attic Red-Figured.
Cyrenean.
Megarean ware.
Roman.
Now, though the list of imported types is larger than the local, the amount of such
material is scarcely a tenth of the latter. The reason for the exclusion of foreign pro-
ducts, especially Attic, will be shown later.
The reader may notice that the discussion and exposition of the various vase-classes
given here differs materially from that given by Professor Waldstein in the Introduction
to this publication. In order that there may be no room for misunderstanding with
regard to this point, I desire to state specifically the reasons for this discrepancy.
After two years' work on the fragments, I had independently reached the conclusion
that the so-called Proto-Corinthian style included more varieties of vase-classes than had
usually been assigned to it, and that it was probably of Argive origin, — a conclusion
which confirmed the views expressed by Professor Waldstein four years before. Also
that the style was an offshoot of the Mycenaean style, and contemporary with the Geo-
metric, having as its chief motives the arrangement of parallel bands so characteristic on
Mycenaean vases. After communicating this view to Professor Waldstein I found that
he not only had reached the same conclusion, but was disposed to regard the style as one
of the links in a chain which went much farther back, as a development of the principle
which he calls " Linear," and which he claims existed in an unbroken sequence from the
earliest times. He has already developed his theory so carefully that I do not feel the
need of repeating Avhat has been better expressed by him in the Introduction. This
is not the place for me to discuss this theory, but simply to define my own attitude
in regard to it.
I agree perfectly with Professor Waldstein in the general application of his " linear "
theory, and accept his views as to the presence of linear motives in the Mycenaean vases,
SYSTEM OF CLASSIFICATION 63
and as to the Argolic origin of the so-called Proto-Corinthian style. I do not, however,
agree with him in his contention that this style can be traced in an inibroken line
throughout the Mycenaean period as far back as the earhest primitive vases, nor do
I accept the general classification he has already outlined. It is, of course, fitting
that in the General Introduction he should have discussed the relation of the Heraeum
vase-fragments to the whole excavation and history of the sanctuary. In so far as
the work concerns myself, it seems to me more suitable, avoiding general theories as
far as possible, to confine myself to a careful classification of the material, omitting
those conclusions which, from my unfamiliarity with all the finds of the excavation, would
not have as stable foundations as those expressed by Professor Waldstein. The classifi-
cation adopted here is the result of careful study of the material for three years ; and
though I am far from claiming that the results reached or the theories expressed
are the only ones possible, I have not hesitated to base the whole of this division of
the publication upon them, since they have forced themselves upon me from the material.
In fairness, therefore, to both Professor Waldstein and myself, I would state that, as I
cannot accept his entire theory, it has seemed to me best to abide by my own exposition
and leave the decision to the judgment of scholars.
As to the classification, I may say that I have endeavored, as far as possible, to hold by
the old rules and to be as conservative as I could ; at the same time, such a large amount of
new material demanded in many cases an entirely new arrangement. But it must not be
forgotten that no classification can be regarded as final ; its main object is convenience ;
and although several groups may be distinguished, they invariably have, in the case of
one group succeeding another, their connecting links, and shde into each other almost
imperceptibly. On the Lake of Geneva there is a threefold division, the Petit, Grand,
and Haut Lacs, each a sej^arate sheet of water ; but one can scarcely draw a straight
line across the lake and say where the Petit Lac begins and the Grand Lac ends. In the
case of our vases, we have the separate classes, but so gradually removed from each
other that we can only emphasize the fact of their division, without being too specific as
to the actual point.
I have tried to treat the vases from a relative, not an absolute, point of view. Unless
it be recognized that the study of Greek vases is a means to an end, not the end itself,
their value is lost. They are not among the grand arts ; in fact, the scanty references to
them in Greek literature show that the vase-painter or potter, while pursuing an honor-
able trade, could not claim to be an artist in the great sense of the word. It is true that
during the earliest periods vase-painting was one of the few forms of artistic expression,
but not the highest form. A civiHzation which could produce the fortresses, the Bee-
Hive tombs of Mycenae and Orchomenos, the gold cups of Vaphio, the golden ornaments
and sword blades of Mycenae, is not to be measured by mere vases of terra-cotta ! Not
but that the vases are artistic ; whatever work a Greek did was never anything else.
As historical documents they are extremely valuable. They respond to the various
influences at work on Hellas from the earliest times, and reflect in a thousand different
ways the life and tastes of its people. It is not a lofty ideahsm we find in them, but a
realism in all its forms. Owing to the crude state of plastic and pictorial art through-
out the periods to which our vases belong, we cannot place them on a level with Attic
vases of the sixth and fifth centuries ; but we can see the steady development towards
the later, finer forms.
For their presence at the Heraeum, where there was only a temple and not a settle-
64 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
ment/ there is but one explanation : they were dedicated to the use of the goddess." In
only a few cases has a dedication been scratched on a vase. It is very probable that such
offerings were those of the poorer classes, who could afford nothing more expensive
than a vase. As the centuries went by, the temple must have become overcrowded
with such a mass of pottery, and the presence of numerous rubbish heaps proves that
there were periodical cleanings out of the sanctuary. Whether such vases were ever in
actual use is doubtful.
From the fact that at the Kabirion in Thebes, potters sat outside the walls of the
Temenos and sold their wares, it is probable that such was the fact at the Heraeum, and
that from the earliest times the pottery of the Argolid was in great demand, and
so cheap and common as to make the introduction of foreign vases rather like bringing
" coals to Newcastle."
At first sight the vases from the Heraeum are somewhat disappointing ; there is
a noticeable lack of strange or beautiful designs, and none of the vases seem to rise
above a common level. But the chief value lies, not in the fragments or vases them-
selves, but in their relation to the results of other excavations, especially those in
Sicily and Aegina. It is Aegina that is shown in the closest relation with Argos, since
many of the more unusual types found at the Heraeum may also be found in Aegina and
nowhere else.
Such a connection forms a valuable contribution to the history of the two states. We
know that it was during the reign of Phidon of Argos that the two came together,
since Phidon had his mint at Aegina. Phidon's date is variously given — b. c. 770 by
Holm,^ 745 by Stais,* while Beloch ° asserts that he could not have lived earlier than the
sixth century. Whether he really introduced the coining of money into Greece, as tradi-
tion relates, is another question. As most numismatists are agreed that this could not
have taken place before b. c. 700," we must either abandon tradition or else side with
Beloch. Holm ^ thinks that he may have introduced Oriental weights and measures into
Greece, and thus the introduction of coinage, which followed shortly after, was attributed
to him. But the main question does not centre about Phidon so much as about the actual
date of the coming together of the two states.
In the recent excavations at Aegina conducted by Stais ^ fragments of the Mycenaean
style were extremely scarce, but large quantities of Geometric and Argive (so-called
Proto-Corinthian) ware were found. Moreover, all the Geometric ware found there
resembles that from the Heraeum much more closely than that from Attica, and several
types occur which can be duphcated only at Argos. It is also most probable that most
of the vases of the Geometric and Argive styles found at Aegina were imjiorted, not
manufactured there. As Argos, through the Mycenaean as well as the later periods, was
one of the chief centres for the manufacture of vases, it becomes almost certain that
after the Mycenaean period she exported her wares into Aegina." Whether Phidon or

some other man was ruler of Argos at that time is not essential to tiie argument, but
it would seem that Holm and Stais are right in considering him king of Argos and
assigning to him a date hi the first half of the eighth century. That this connection
lasted until the sixth century, when the Argives assisted the Aeginetans in repelling an
Athenian invasion,' the presence of the vase fragments at Aegina would seem to show.
So far as can be judged from the extremely small number of fragments of vases of foreign
(i. e. outside of the Argolid) make, such as Dipylon, Early Attic, Corinthian, Cyrenean, Attic
Black and Red-Figured, etc., it seems probable that almost all the rest were made in the
Argolid. Without doubt all fragments belonging to the Mycenaean style were of such
origin. This I judge from the fact that all such vases bear the closest relation to those
from Mycenae and show none of the features characteristic of other Mycenaean types
difficulty. Accordingly I sent to Dr. H. S. Washington a
number of slierds of the Primitive, Mycenaean, Geo-
metric, Argive (Proto-Corinthian), Corinthian, Black and
Red-Figured styles selected from the following sites : the
Heraeum, Mycenae, Tiryns, Nauplia, Melos, Attica
(Athens, Menidi, Markopoulo, Thorikos), and Eretria.
His report is to appear elsewhere, but we may here men-
tion the following facts quoted from Dr. Washington's
letter, which were given in reply to the following ques-
tions : (1) Wliat is the connection between pottery found
at Argos and Aegina ? (2) What is the connection be-
tween pottery found at Attica, Argos, and other sites ?
(1) " The primitive fragment from Aegina is coarse
and contains fragments of raica-sehist. As this rock is
not found on the island, the presumption is that this
especial piece is of foreign (i. e. extra-Aegina) manufac-
ture. In the Peloponnesus the nearest localities of these
rocks are in the Xiris mountains, and near and soutli of
Doliana towards Sparta; they also occur in Attica. Tlie
Geometric fragments of Aegina are coarse with quartz
and feklspar grains, possibly derived from schist, but no
remains of this or of volcanic rock are visible ; it may be
native. The two Mycenaean fragments from Aegina are
rather coarse, and show fragments of quartz, feldspar, and
augite (a mineral of volcanic rocks on the island), so that
these are almost certainly of native (Aeginetan) manu-
facture.
" The Proto-Corinthian and Corinthian fragments from
Aegina do not differ in any essential respect from the
corresponding specimens of Argos. The Proto-Corin-
thian are much finer than the Corinthian, and I sliould
say that the Aegina Corinthian are rather coarser than
the Corinthian fragments found at Argos.
" Of tlie Argive specimens, the Proto-Corintliian are by
far the finest, though the Corinthian come close to them.
A fragment of a ' local type ' (v. p. 161, Plate LXVII.)
is also dense, as are two of the red-figure style. A prim-
itive fragment is also quite fine, but shows carelessness
in manufacture in areas of coarser material and in the
presence of limestone fragments. The fragment of the
Geometric plate (v. p. 116, Plate LVIII.) resembles the
corresponding one from Aegina, and may possibly contain
a little augite (in very small crystal fragments), which
would indicate an Aeginetan derivation. All the Geo-
metric fragments are coarser than the Proto-Corinthian,
but the Mycenaean are rather better, though less dense,
than the Proto-Corinthian.
" On the wliole, the only pottery which is, one may say,
undoubtedly Aeginetan is the Mycenaean from there, the
Argive Mycenaean being distinctly different. There is
practically no difference between the respective Proto-
Corinthian and Corinthian, and either miglit come from
any good clay bed, and witli the material well washed,
which would tend to eliminate all heavy portions such as
augite.
(2) " Argive, Attic, etc. The fragments of the Myce-
naean style from Mycenae, Tiryns, Daulis, Markopoulo,
and Nauplia are all practically identical with that of
Argos. Tlie Geometric fragments from Markopoulo
and Eretria are coarser and resemble the Geometric from
Argos. The only specimen from Athens (Dipylon) is
also coarse, and contains much feldspar, an evidence of
carelessness in washing.
"The pottery from Melos is quite distinctive in con-
taining fragments of minerals of volcanic rocks of the
island, as well as here and there fragments of tlie rocks
themselves, such as obsidian, etc."
" Pottery is made of decayed rocks in which most of
tlie original and distinctive minerals have disappeared, and
those left are still fiirtlier done away by the washing of
the clay, so that it would be only in the most early and
archaic periods that we should expect to find tell-tale
minerals."
Although Dr. Washington's report is somewhat incon-
clusive, the following conclusions would seem to be jus-
tified: (1) That with the exception of a few fragments of
the Mycenaean style and the Geometric plate mentioned
on p. 116, none of the sherds of the Geometric, Argive
(Proto-Coriiithian), or Corinthian styles are indigenous
to the island, but were most probably imported there. (2)
The Geometric fragments from Attica, except the pure
Dipylon style, resemble very strongly those from Argos.
But these same conclusions do not seem to militate
against the theories advanced on pp. 119 ff. and 103 ff.,
that the Argive (Proto-Corinthian) style originated in the
Argolid, and that the earliest beginnings of the Geometric
style proper are to be souglit for in that locality, al-
though, as stated on p. 104, no attempt has been made to
prove that the Geometric style necessarily originated in
the Argolid, and was taken up by the other states, but
rather that the external influence which probably created
the Geometric style first made its appearance in .4rgos,
and penetrated into Attica in a very short time.

66 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
such us Tlieran, Cypriote, and those from the^various islands. At the same time, the
complete absence of the first class, lustrous finish of the Mycenaean style, would seem to
exclude Mycenae itself as the only factory. With such a large output of Mycenaean
vases there must have existed a dozen vase factories scattered through the plain.
Though it is a point that admits of much discussion, I am inclined to follow Furtwiingler
and Loeschcke's view that the Dorian invasion proved the downfall of the Mycenaean
civiUzation, and that the Geometric style arose in consequence of this invasion ' and can-
not be traced to the lonians, Carians,- or Egyptians.'^ This point will be further elabo-
rated in the third chapter, but we may anticipate a little. It is only recently that the
connection between the Mycenaean and Geometric styles has been satisfactorily estab-
lished. Wide* has analyzed the survival of Mycenaean elements in the Geometric style
and shown how much more the Island types of the Geometric followed the Mycenaean
than those of the mainland, but his assumption that, owing to the lack of these Myce-
naean features in the Geometric style of the mainland, the centre of the Mycenaean
fabrics lay in the islands is not necessarily true, since these same features can be detected
in the Geometric vases from the Heraeum.
The recent excavations of Fhnders Petrie in Egypt, Cecil Smith and Hogarth in Melos,
and Evans in Crete have thrown new light on the beginnings of the Mycenaean style,
since a large number of sherds have been found there which, though akin to the Myce-
naean, are nevertheless earlier, and have been called " Aegean." These sherds would seem
to show a greater tendency towards a naturalistic or pictorial form of ornamentation than
towards a linear. As yet the connection between them and the Mycenaean sherds of
Greece proper has not been thoroughly established, but it may be assumed that such a
connection exists.
The Mycenaean style in Greece proper would seem to show the following development.
As Professor Waldstein has already pointed out, the earliest Mycenaean fragments show
the embodiment of a Linear principle which would naturally be expected in vases which
succeed the so-called "Primitive " style. In a very short time, owing no doubt to the
maritime character of the Mycenaean civilization, and more probably to the influence of
the Aegean pottery, the tendency to employ a species of pictorial or naturalistic orna-
mentation, especially of marine life, became widespread.
Later again the spirit of conventionality crept in, and in the last days of the Mycenaean
style we find a wealth of ornament treated in a purely conventional and rather flamboyant
manner, but without the introduction of any fresh ideas ; in fact, the general tendency
seems a return to the early Linear feeling. After the Dorian invasion we see this same
linear principle marching off in two different styles, the Geometric and the Argive or
Proto-Corinthian, which flourished side by side in the Argolid for a considerable ])eriod.
During the seventh century the increasing commercial and trading facilities brought
about the introduction of foreign, especially eastern influences, into Greece, with the
result that the Geometric style died out, while the Argive absorbed the new influences,
from which the Corinthian style probably had its origin (see p. 123). Attica in the
meanwhile, after experimenting largely with the Geometric style, had worked her way
into the Early Attic style, and after absorbing the Oriental influence from Corinth through
the so-called Corinthian-Attic, evolved the Black-Figured style which, during the best
part of the sixth century, was the most prominent form of Greek ceramic art.

A glance at the accompanying figure shows the way in which this development took

It cannot, of course, be said that the progress traced above is absolute, nor can it be
worked out exactly with mathematical precision. It is the result of a careful study of
the progress of ceramic art as illustrated by the two great centres of Argos and Athens,
with especial reference to the vases from the Heraeum. To trace the development of
ceramic art in any given place is, after all, largely a matter of theory, and though I do
not wish to maintain that the theories of development here expressed are the only ones
possible, it is upon them that the whole of this work is based.
As the term " Proto-Corinthian " is now so thoroughly unsatisfactory, I f ally agree with
Professor Waldstein that it should be abandoned, and that, as the Argohd offers greater
claims for being the home of this style (as I shall endeavor to show later), it is best to call
the style Argive. But, as stated before, the use of the term in this part of the publica-
tion is rather more restricted than that employed by Professor Waldstein, since it is here
used entirely with reference to those vases which are post-Mycenaean, and does not
include all the varieties which Professor Waldstein would include under the title of
" Arsfive Linear."
CHAPTER I.
PRIMITIVE VASES.
The pottery representing the " primitive " period, i. e. all pottery (prior to the Myce-
naean civilization) which shows the employment of the usual incised linear decoration, so
common on the various sherds in the lower settlements of Hissarlik, is rather scarce at
the Heraeum. For this fact two explanations are possible : (1) As we have pointed out
before, a large number of fragments, without decoration of any kind, wheel or hand
made, which might well belong to vessels of the earliest periods, were not preserved,
since there was no evidence of any kind to show what their age was. (2) Sites in which
such ware has been found in greatest quantities, such as Hissarlik, Tiryns, Thera, etc.,
were all settlements where the pottery was in actual use by the inhabitants. The
Heraeum was a sanctuary and not a settlement ; and as the cult of Hera was probably
not developed until the Mycenaean period, the custom of dedicating pottery would not
have been general, and hence we should not expect to find many primitive sherds on the
site. If, however, there had been here an early settlement, vases would have been in
constant use, and would therefore not have been found in large quantities, as where in a
sanctuary only there were constant deposits of votive offerings in vases.
Of the plain pottery already mentioned in the Introduction, a great number of frag-
ments seem to have belonged to large pithoi, sunilar to those at Hissarlik. Such large
vases, of coarse unpainted clay, are characteristic of all periods, and may just as well
fall in the later as in the earlier Greek times. Many of them, in fact, are not dissimilar
to common pots used by the people of Greece to-day.
The bulk of this " primitive " ware consists of fragments of yellow or reddish clay
with incised ornamentation, only a few vases being preserved entire. Most of the frag-
ments are hand-made ; but as wheel-made ones are found, no general law can be stated
for the use of the wheel. It is probable that some of the wheel-made prehistoric frag-
ments are older than hand-made Mycenaean vases. Beside the fragments already men-
tioned, a large number of very coarse wheel-made fragments were found, decorated only
with a series of incised parallel lines very close together, evidently made by some pointed
instrument held against the clay as it revolved on the wheel. To date them is impos-
sible ; the nearest analogies may be found in Phoenician ware in the British Museum
and the Louvre.'
Not more than two baskets of the total number contained sherds with incised decora-
tion, and it was extremely doubtful in the case of many of the fragments whether they
could with propriety be classed among the primitive vases. Some, by their similarity to
the vases from Hissarlik, the tumulus at Bos-iijiik in Asia Minor (Koerte, Athen. Mitt.
xiv. (1899), pp. 1 ft'., pis. i.-iii.), and the Cyclades (Tsountas, 'Ecprjfi. 'Apx- 1898, pp. 137 ft".,
pis. ix., X.) seemed to belong to the last of the third or the beginning of the second mil-
lennium B. c. Probably none of them are earUer than the second settlement at Hissarlik,
and the majority contemporaneous with the sherds of the third, fourth, and fifth settle-

PRIMITIVE VASES 69
ments. Some, again, though essentially primitive in their technique, show Mycenaean
and Geometric elements without seeming to helong to either style.
No attempt can be made to give anything but an approximate date to the fragments
of the primitive period from the Heraeum. As the primitive vases from the Cyclades
furnish the nearest parallels to many of our fragments, we may date them as Tsountas
does the island tombs, b. c. 2500-2000 ; those which show a more advanced style of
decoration may be placed in the first part of the second millennium B. c. ; but it is
doubtful if any of our fragments to which the term " primitive " can be applied are
later than the beginnings of the Mycenaean civilization.
FRAGMENTS.
PLATE L.
1. Bright red clay, fairly fine. Wave pattern between bands. Cf. Flios, figs. 298, 317.
Koerte, loc. cit. pi. iii. 19.
2. Coarse dark yellow clay with small black stones, hand-made. Probably part of amphora.
Handle missing. Decoration of small circles, evidently done with some instrument like a punch.
To left of the handle, breast-like protuberance.
3. Reddish clay. Hand-made. Same decorations, large circles. Cf. Ilios, fig. 162.
4. Top of oinochoe, of fine dark reddish clay. Same decorations with very small circles, which
extend over the lip.
Fragments of this type were common at the Heraeum. They possess, however, no affinity with
the sieve vases from Troy, as the circles do not go clear through.
Two variations in the type occur; (1) where the circles have a central part left (as in 2)
and (2) where the circle is a complete hole. (3) Similar decoration occurs on ivory
objects from Troy {Ilios, p. 566), as well as from the Heraeum, and on fragments from
graves of the Hallstatt period in Vienna.
Nos. 5-8 are all of a yellow or reddish clay, hand-made and ornamented with scratched lines.
Similar fragments were quite numerous at the Heraeum, and probably belong to the earliest
period. The plastic baud on 5, with its perforated ornament, is a common feature in prehistoric
ware.i Cf. Sohliemann, Jlios, p. 491, fig. 454.
9. Low bowl ; height 0.27 m. ; diameter 0.17 m. Reddish clay. Incised dots on outer edge
of base. Rim has an incised herring-bone pattern. Two holes through edge of base.
10. From shoulder of large vase, coai-se reddish yellow clay. Ornamentation probably ran
round the shoulder like a frieze.
11. Handle of vase, coarse reddish yellow clay, hand-made. Plastic ornament resembling the
knuckles of a hand.
12. Same. Coarse, dark reddish clay, hand-made ; probably burnt. In plastic form, with four
divisions, two large and two small.
Several other similar handles, belonging to large anaphoras were found, which vases, as far as
can be told from the fragments, possessed no decoration whatsoever.
13. Handle, reddish yellow clay, ornamented with a series of V-shaped incisions. Cf. Ilios,
fig. 1000.
14. Reddish clay. Wave patterns incised in similar fashion to 1. In left-hand corner of the
fragment a projection like a button.

incised. The same triangidar indentations occur on a fragment from the Cyclades 'E0j;/a. 'Apx-

The following fragments are all wheel made, and belong certainly to a later time,
probably just prior to the beginning of the Mycenaean period.
16. Greenish yellow clay. From base of a vase with tall foot. Double herring-bone pattern
and lines, incised.
17. Greenish-yellow clay, from vase similar to 16. Rays and bands incised.
18. Reddish clay, inside entirely covered with a dark brown glaze. Rays and scratches
incised.
As the technique of this fragment is distinctly Mycenaean and rather advanced, it seems
most probable that it should fall in that period.
19. Light yellow clay, probably from an aryballos. Herring-bone pattern and lozenge contain-
ing a swastika, incised.
20. Bright yellow clay, with black core. From neck of a vessel. Three raised bands, cross-
hatched, inclosing two bands, upper with rosettes and herring-bones, lower with herring-bones
alone.
21. Reddish yellow clay. From neck of aryballos. Plastic tongue pattern on shoulder.
The technique of 19-21 is decidedly more advanced than that of the other fragments^
At the same time it is open to question whether, with the possible excej^tion of 21, they
can be regarded as later than the Mycenaean period.
VASES.

The handle is divided into two twisted divisions, also ornamented
with scratches. On the front, two breast-like protuberances.
This arrangement of scratches is similar to that of 'E<f>r]iJ.. 'Apx-

The shape is similar to lUos, Figs. 59 and 1130. (Cf. also
Koerte, loc. cit. pi. ii. 9.) Such vessels have usually been classed
among cooking-pots.

Cf. Koerte, loc. cit. pi. ii. 8.
The polishing of the clay is a common feature among primitive vases. It
may be observed on a large number of vases and sherds from Hissarlik, and also
on the vases from Bos-ojiik. Cf. Koerte, loc. cit. p. 25.

THE MYCENAEAN STYLE 71
Further, about twenty very small hand-made vases were found, which had no decora-
tion, but were uniformly of a dark gray or reddish clay, showing traces of burning.
They included two-handled vessels, similar to 'Ecft-q/j.. '\px- 1898, pi. ix. 2, and Koerte,
loc. cit. pi. ii. 7 ; several three-handled jugs of similar shape to those on p. 100, and a vase
without handles, similar to Koerte, loc. cit. pi. ii. 9.
A series of vases, which, though not prehistoric in character, seem more nearly related
to the earlier than the later vases, is represented by 4-6. They are all of a very dark
clay, hand-made and burnt black in most cases, some with a decoration of incised lines
running from neck to foot, others without decoration, and chiefly remarkable for a very
brilliant polish, giving nearly the effect of dull jet. These vases are very similar to
several from Rhodes in the British Museum, and it may be questioned whether our vases
are not as are those, a product of the eighth century. At the same time, owing to
their scratched ornamentation, they are more fitly included in this chapter, and if of a
later date are probably the last links of the chain begun in prehistoric times.

CHAPTER II.
THE MYCENAEAJ^ STYLE.
The development of the Mycenaean style at the Heraeum finds its parallel in the
Mycenaean fragments from Mycenae and Tiryns. But unfortunately the Heraeiun frag-
ments throw no light on the question whether the Mycenaean style is of Achaean (as is
usually supposed), Pelasgian (cf.J. //. *S'. XVI. [1896], pp. 77 ff.), or foreign origin. That
prototypes of the Mycenaean style exist in the Aegean pottery is now, I think, gener-
ally admitted, and it may well be the case that the beginnings of the civilization are to
be looked for in the Aegean islands, especially Crete. The connection, however, between
the Mycenaean ware at the Heraeum and the Aegean pottery is not easy to establish ;
the earliest elements of the style in the former site are, as Professor Waldstein has
pointed out, distinctly linear in character ; and that, as far as I can judge from the island
pottery I have seen (e. g. Melos), does not seem to be the case in Aegean pottery. If
anything, the characteristics of the Aegean pottery are more naturaUstic than linear.
Perhaps" the most probable explanation is that the Mycenaean style in the Argolid
developed directly from the primitive linear tyjies, and that the influence of the islands
brought about the change to naturahstic forms of ornamentation.
The two great classes of the Mycenaean style, vases with dull decoration {Mattmalerei)
and with luStrous decoration {FirnlssmaJerei), are both represented at the Heraeum, the
former in very small quantities. Although it is usually supposed that " dull" vases are
fz
THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
older than " lustrous," certainty on this point is jmpossible. The character of the dull
style is linear and as such more in keeping with the prehistoric motives ; also as the
invention of a lustrous glaze is a distinct innovation in ceramic art, it is probably an
improvement on the " dull " technique. But that the manufacture of dull vases continued
almost as long as that of lustrous vases, is proved by the fact that both dull and lustrous
fragments lay side by side in the same levels.
VASES WITH DULL DECORATION.
Four small vases (to be described later) and about fifty fragments of this style were
found, none belonging to very large vases. To establish a classification with a material
so scanty and unsatisfactory is impossible. Furtwiingler and Loeschcke divide this type
into two classes: (a) vases made of red clay (" Rotthonig ") and (b) vases of pale clay
(" Blassthonig "). Such a classification in the case of the Heraeum fragments proved un-
possible, since the clay ran through the various shades of red, yellow, gray, and green,
and no vital difference in the decorative forms of fragments of red or pale clay could be
distinguished, and the polish, according to Furtwiingler and Loeschcke, a characteristic
feature of class n, was noticeable only on vases of j^ale clay.
It is true that the majority of our dull fragments show a decoration decidedly linear
in feeling, and also that some show a pictorial or naturalistic decoration very similar to
vases of the lustrous style. That the first are the earlier of the two seems probable. At
the same time the difference is not so great as to warrant our assigning the fragments to
different classes, since many fragments bearing linear motives may well have belonged to
vases which also showed pictorial ornamentation and vice versa. The classification of
fragments alone is far more unreliable than that based upon entire vases. Hence, in the
case of " dull " fragments, no attempt has been made to separate them into two classes,
though they have been arranged with a view to the character of their ornamentation, be
it linear or pictorial.
Only the most important fragments are shown in Plate LI. There were many which
bore no decoration, though clearly belonging to the same vases as some of the fragments
here reproduced ; many again bore only a part of a band or stripe running around the
belly. A certain difference can be detected in that in some of the fragments the clay
is covered with a iine slip and in some not. The majority of the fragments show this
feature, which seems to have been a characteristic of the style from its beginning, since
even those vases with the simplest linear decoration show it. As it runs through all the
shades of clay, it offers no ground for classification. The polishing of the surface seems
to have been the general custom. The clay runs through all varieties and colors, from
a very coarse variety with black stones still apparent on the surface to extremely fine
clay, cleaned and polished. The majority of the vases and fragments were made on the
wheel, though a few are hand-made.

6. Neck and shoulder of jug similar to 4. Fine reddish clay with greenish yellow slip.
7. Fairly fine pale reddish clay, dull polished surface. Three narrow black bands inclosing a
dark red zigzag, and a broader band of dark red ; traces of another zigzag also in dark red.
This fragment is almost identical with Myh. Thong, v. 20.
This use of two different colors, one (in this case the red) added after the first firing, is
an extremely common feature in the Heraeum fragments, and will be analyzed more
thoroughly in a later chapter. No. 7 was the only fragment of the dull finish which
showed its employment.
A few fragments of a very dark red clay with a dark red slip on exterior and interior
and black decoration were found. They are in all respects similar to the vase from
the Bee-Hive tomb near the Heraeum. Cf. Mijk. Thong, xii. 52 ; Athen. Mitt. III.
p. 271.
8. Neck, shoulder, and base of handle, probably from an amphora. Fine greenish clay, pol-
ished, with light brown decoration.
9. From large bowl, similar in form to 31yk. Vas. XLiv. 75, but with single handles, about
25 cm. in height and 24 cm. in diameter. Coarse reddish
clay, which has received a very high polish and presents a
peculiar soapy feeling to the touch. Zigzag band below rim
in dark red, very much faded. (Fig. 7.)
A few other vases and fragments from the Heraeum
showed this same peculiar surface, which otherwise is ^^^ ^
unknown to me. It is probably due to some accident
either in the composition of the clay or the peculiarity of the soil in which it is found.
10. Coarse brownish clay with white slip outside. Violet brown decoration.
All these fragments show a decided " linear " tendency ; the rest (10-16) are more nat-
uralistic in character. The similarity of decoration in 14-16 to vases of the lustrous
finish would warrant our assigning them to a later period. They evidently do not belong
to the earUest essays in dull decoration.
11. Shoulder and handle of small three-handled amphora (form Myk. Vas. XLiv. 35), with
brown black decoration. , , x,- -iao ir
12 Rim and spout (broken off) of a bowl, similar in shape to Myk. Vas. XLiv. 103. Very
coarse brick red clay, with a pale white slip on exterior and interior. Decoration in black, laid on

17. (Fig. 8.) Height, 0.06 m. : diameter, 0.07 iii. Bowl with high foot, being a cross between a
kylix and a slivphos, one handle missing. Bands and a continuous spiral.
Another vase of exactly the same shape and dimensions, but in-
tact, was found in the same tomb. The surface is completely cov-
ered by a hard incrustation of lime, but as far as can be seen the
decoration is the same as 17.
18. (Fig. 9.) Height, 0.028 ra. ; diameter, 0.066 m. Slight variation of
Myk. Vets. XLiv. 87. Bands on rim, belly, and han-
dle, and row of dotted semicircles.
19. (Fig. 10.) Height, 0.036 m. ; diameter,
0.056 m. Three-legged bowl, handle restored.
Continuous spiral on sides, and on bottom be-
tween the legs a design like an S reversed. Clay
shows traces of burning.
These four vases come from the grave
found April 13, 1894, back of the peribo-
los wall above the South Stoa. The technique is the same in all, a fine yellow clay, highly
polished, without a slip, the decoration in violet black, laid on heavily. All are hand-
made. For photograph of tomb see vol. I. p. 41, fig. 13.
VASES WITH LUSTROUS DECORATION.
The introduction of lustrous paint in the manufacture of Mycenaean vases was revolu-
tionary in its effects. Henceforth all vases exhibit this feature. But as we have said,
on its introduction the dull finish was not at once abandoned, but continued side by side
with the lustrous technique for a considerable period ; just how long it is imjjossible to
say, but certainly until after the best period of the lustrous style.
Until lately Furtwangler and Loeschcke's division of the lustrous style has been univer-
sally followed. This classification has, however, proved inadequate for our vases, and for
those from the Acropolis and Thoricus. A second classification,' proposed by Wolters,
is more satisfactory, and has proved a better standard for arranging ours. But in spite
of its many advantages, it is somewhat unwieldy, so that I have ventured to adopt a
middle course, in order to reconcile both Furtwangler and Loeschcke's and Wolters'
arrangements. The three are here presented side by side.

^ This classification has never been published, so far as I know, and has been drawn from the author's lectures.
THE MYCENAEAN STYLE: CLASSIFICATIONS
75
II.
Vases of coarse clay, covered
with a thin slip of finer clay,
now white (in the case of vases
from the Bee-Hive tomb near the
Heraeuni),nowyellowish brown,
(v. Myh. TJiong. vii. 42 ; Myk.
Vus. p. 21, fig. 7.) The de-
coration is painted on this slip
in dark brown, with the occa-
sional addition of white, as if
an echo of the technique of the
first class.
III.
Fine cleaned clay, with a pol-
ished surface of warm yellow
color. The colors in the deco-
ration run through all shades
from yellow to dark brown. This,
through action of fii-e, becomes
bright red in many cases, which,
especially in vases of the finest
technique, is evidently inten-
tional. Details are occasion-
ally added in white.
II.
No radical change. The main
point of difference lies in the
close connection between II.
and the following class, which
varies from it only in the qual-
ity of the work. The style
throughout is distinctly a natu-
ralistic or pictorial one, there
being no thought of convention-
ality. The vase from Thorikos
is an extremely good example
of the class as a whole.
Cf. 'ZipniJL. "Apx- 1895, pi. xi. No. 1.
III. 1.
Fine clay, with purely pic-
torial ornamentation, precisely
similar to II., save that the exe-
cution is more delicate, which is
natural, seeing that the vases
are uniformly smaller.
The pictorial motives have
become conventionalized. In
proportion, however, the tech-
nique has also advanced and
reaches its highest point in this
division, and may easily be de-
tected by the extreme fineness
of clay and extraordinary bril-
liancy of the glaze. This class
is not the most common of the
Mycenaean styles.
II. 1 and 2.
In the first division of II.
have been included all vases
wliich in the other two classifi-
cations are counted as II.
In the second division are in-
cluded a number of vases be-
longing to Furtwiingler and
Loeschcke, III., and Wolters,
III. 1.

1.
Seeing that vases of this class
differ from tlie succeeding one
only in superiority of technique,
while the principle of ornamen-
tation remains the same, there
seems to be little gain in sepa-
rating them by the boundary
line of a class.
2.
In this division are included
those vases which form the bulk
of III. of Furtwiingler and
Loeschcke. They are the most
common at the Ileraeum. The
clay has become inferior and
the lustre duller, while the orna-
mentation has become conven-
tionalized in the extreme, and
presents a certain mechanical
air. It is only in its technical
features that it differs from class
III. 1.

THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
IV.
The surface of the clay is
greenish or a somewhat dull
yellow, occasionally reddish yel-
low, but far duller than the pre-
ceding class. The decoration is
black or yellowish brown, occa-
sionally burnt red, but never at-
tains to the brilliancy of vases of
class III. In the case of vases
with a wide mouth, the interior
is always glazed.
IV. *
1.
In this division are placed
those vases included by Furt-
waii":ler and Loeschcke in III.,
and bv me in III. 2.
2.
rv.
This class remains undis-
turbed as in Furtwiingier and
Loeschcke. Only a few frag-
ments were found at the He-
raeum.
In this division fall all vases
in IV. of Furtwiingier and
Loeschcke. Vases of this type
show a more florid and perhaps
decadent style of decoration.
The ornamentation abounds in
a wealth of detail not seen in the
other classes. It has been found
in fairly large quantities at
Athens, on the Acropolis, and
at Aegina and Thoricus.
It may be noticed that in Professor Wolters's classification the separation of Mycenaean
kistrous vases into two great periods is hinted at, if not expressed. We may commence
by drawing a sharp line between the pictorial and the conventional, since the progression
from natnralism to conventionalism is a greater one than from one plane of technical
skill to a higher. We may therefore keep Furtwiingier and Loeschcke's four classes
and separate them into two groups, I. and II., III. and IV. It will thus be seen that
dividing III. and IV. into two classes each, as Wolters does, and connecting III. 1 with
II., and III. 2 with IV. is somewhat awkward. Also the line between naturalism and
conventionalism is not properly emphasized, since they occur in the same class, which is
clearly impossible if we are to follow a classification based on ornamental development.
By separating II. into two divisions we adhere to the close connection emphasized by
Wolters while confining the principle of naturalism to one class.
With III. we enter upon the second or conventional group, and we divide this into
two classes. III. 1 and III. 2, which correspond to Wolters's III. 2 and IV. 1. Their
connection is too strong (the difference between them being purely technical) to warrant
their being separated as they are by Wolters, while at the same time we are more in accord
with Furtwiingier and Loeschcke, except for the transferring of a small part of their class
III. to II. There seems to be no valid reason for separating IV. into two groups. Cer-
tainly the difference between IV. 1 and IV. 2 (Wolters) is as great, both from a technical
and ornamental standpoint, as between III. and IV. (Furtwiingier and Loeschcke).

THE MYCENAEAN STYLE: EVIDENCE FOR DATE 77
What the chronological ditfereiices are between these varions classes it is difficult to
say. According to Furtwangler and Loeschcke, I. is the oldest; but it is extremely doubt-
ful whether any difference in time exists between I. and II. As I. is found in but few
other places outside of Mycenae, it is fair to suppose that it was a style more or less
local. Judging from the entire lack of this class at the Heraeum, and tlie fact that the
style of ornamentation of II. 1, which is the oldest class of lustrous vases at the He-
raeum, is practically identical with that of I., there seems good reason for sui)posing that
the two are synchronous.
Moreover, the difference between II. 1 and the dull vases is so extremely slight that it
can be detected only by a carefully trained eye, and even then cases occur where the
decision is doubtful. This would show that the lustrous technique at the beginning did
not differ materially from the dull, and is another point in favor of assigning II. 1 to
the beginning of the lustrous style.
II. 2 differs from II. 1 mainly in the technical advance, but this advance is sufficiently
apparent to enable us to see in II. 2 the successor of II. 1. The step between II. 2
and III. 1 is even greater, since the style of ornamentation has radically changed, and
all motives which II. drew from the marine life that played so great a part in the mari-
time civilization of the Mycenaean epoch have become conventionalized and are used
more with a view to their decorative effect than as an attempt to reproduce nature.
Such a change could have come only during the acme of the Mycenaean epoch.
With IV. we see the point to which the bad taste of a decadent art had come. The
wealth of ornamentation, elaborated from a given motive, with the introduction of
foreign motives, illustrated by " Heraldic " designs and those taken from Oriental
embroideries, may be accounted for by this rampant spirit of conventionalism combined
with the increased commercial activity of the age.
A few words may here be said as to the latest results in dating the whole Mycenaean
period. Through the numerous excavations recently conducted on Greek soil, and the
corresponding increase of Greek pottery brought to light, the chronology has been
worked backwards to the fourteenth century. But the excavations of Flinders Petrie * in
Egypt, and the finding, in the towns of Illahun, Tel-el- Amarna, Kahun, and Gurob, of
rubbish heaps containing large masses of " Aegaean," i. e. Mycenaean pottery, may be
said to have absolutely established the date of the Mycenaean civilization, since the
objects of Egyptian workmanship lying in these rubbish heaps, along with the pottery,
can be dated not later than this eighteenth dynasty, circa b, c. 1450. Pseud-amphoras
of Class III. were found in tombs of a date not later than b. c. 1300. The placing of the
acme of the Mycenaean period during the fifteenth century thus accords with the hypo-
thesis advanced by Furtwangler and Loeschcke on the basis of Egyptian wall paintings.'^
As Class IV. was not found by Petrie, we may assume that it is later than b. c. 1300 ; but
there is no reason for assuming that the manufacture of Class III. ceased after that date.
We must also allow at least a hundred years for the development of the Mycenaean
style from its beginning, so that to place the manufacture of dull vases as early as the
sixteenth or seventeenth centuries is permissible. We thus obtain a period of about five

78 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
centuries from the rise of the Mycenaean style to its downfall at the time of the Dorian
invasion, or whatever the upheaval was which led to its decline.
That all the vases of the Mycenaean style found at the Heraeum were manufactured
in the Argolic plain, and not imported from some other centre, seems unquestionable.
Whether the Argolid was the chief centre of the Mycenaean civilization or not cannot
be absolutely affirmed, though the evidence seems to point to this supposition. At
any rate, the amount of vases found at Mycenae, Tiryns, Naupha, and in the various
tombs throughout the plain, is so great that we can safely assert them to be of home
manufacture. That Class I. is found at Mycenae and not at the Heraeum may perhaps
be accounted for by a difference of feiste in the two places. The Heraeum, which was
one of the largest sanctuaries in Greece, must have kept several potters' factories busy
to supply the faithful with the requisite vases for ex votos, and that cerfciin styles
should have been popular there and others not so is not extraordinary.
Several facts may be noticed in regard to our fragments which are significant.
The singular uniformity of all the fragments of the Mycenaean style, both in clay
and technique ; the complete absence of Class I., and, lastly, the equally complete
absence of any foreign variations (e. g. Theran, Melian, Cypriote, etc.) of the regular
Mycenaean types. These facts woidd seem to indicate : (1) That the potteries which
produced the ware found at Mycenae were not the same as those which produced
our fragments ; had such been the case it is scarcely credible that no traces of Class
I. should have been found. (2) That all Mycenaean pottery found at the Heraeum
was the product of one or more particular centres of activity, situated near the sanc-
tuary. (3) That this manufactory reserved its wares exclusively for home consump-
tion, and neither exjjorted its product or imported similar wares. This last assumption
is based on the fact that those particular varieties which are indigenous to some foreign
spots are hardly represented at the Heraeum, and the few exceptions to this rule are
probably accidental. On the other hand, no Mycenaean vase found outside of the
Argolid can be proved to have been manufactured near the Heraeum.
CLASS II., DIVISION 1.
Of this class only a few dozen fragments were found, and no whole vases. Only
a few fragments clearly belonged to the same vases, and the reconstruction of any
vase proved impossible. The characteristics of these fragments are similar to those
of a jug in Athens {Myk. F«s. p. 49, fig. 29) and a three-handled vase from Thoricus
{'E(f>r}iJ,. 'Apx- 1895, pi. XI. 1), though the decoration is extremely simple and monoto-
nous, with no attempt at any elaborate design.
Only a few of the fragments are here reproduced. The technical features are :
very coarse quahty of clay, Avith frequent small stones, varying through the different
shades of red and brown to green ; a thin wash of white, yellow, or red ; ornamen-
tation in violet, brown, or red.
1. (Plate LI. 17.) From belly of vase, form uncertain. Dark red clay, with a darker central
core, and liglit red wash, dark red decoration. Two fishes advancing towards a monster of some
sort whose head and forelegs alone are visible. To identify the cliaracter of the fishes or the
monster is impossible. Cf. Myk. Vas. x. 63, XXXIX. 401a ; Schliemann, Mycenae, Fig. 317 ;

2. (Plate LI. 18 a-d.) Four fragments from same vase, form uncertain, clay dark red,

white wash, with faded violet brown decoration. The design cannot be restored, but that the
spiral formed part of it is certain.
3. (Plate LI., 19 a and b.) Two fragments of same vase.
Thick brown clay, yellow wash, brown decoration. Flower
pattern.
4. (Plate LI., 20.) Greenish clay and wash, violet black
decoration, with a greenish tinge. Flower pattern.

6. (Fig. 11.) Fragment of large amphora: height, 0.108
m. ; width, 0.12 m. ; very coarse brick red clay, pale reddish
wash, dark red decoration. (Flower pattern.) The height
of the amphora cannot be determined, but the opening mea-
FiG. 11. sured certainly 13 cm. in diameter. Cf. Myk. Vas. XXL 156.
CLASS II., DIVISION 2.
The fragments of this particular class were far more numerous than those of the pre-
ceding, and are uniformly of a finer character, though the pictorial style of ornamentation
remains the same. They represent throughout smaller vases. The clay is of a better
quality, carefully cleaned, running through all the shades of red, brown, yellow, and
pale green, the decoration generally red or brown. The technical method is the same
in all. Over the natural clay a slip is laid, of very fine red or yellow clay, on which
the design is painted and the surface polished. In some cases the slip is on the inte-
rior as well. Occasionally the decoration is laid on so thickly as to stand out from the
surface of the clay, and be easily friable. Cases occur where a whitish wash has been
applied, as in Class II., 1. Fragments which resemble this class very strongly have
been found in the Bee-Hive tomb near the Heraeum, already referred to.
In only a few cases were fragments clearly part of the same vase and no entire
vases were found. The style of ornamentation is uniformly naturalistic or pictorial,
the motives being taken almost exclusively from flowers, while marine subjects are hardly
used at all. In but a few instances can the form of the vase be determined.

27 a and b. Two fragments from the same vase. Reddish clay and decoration. Alternate
buds and flowers. In spite of a certain conventionality of treatment, and indifferent technique,
the resemblance of these fragments to those from Therasia (^Myk. Vas. xii. 78) justifies their
position in this class.
A considerable number of fragments representing three-handled vases similar to
Myk. Vas. vii. 45, ix. 52, were found. This seems to have been one of the favorite
shapes of this class. As a rule, ornamentation is introduced into the space above the
scallops.
Fig. 12 a and b. Fragments of large bowl which measured 45 cm. in diameter. Form uncer-
tain. Whether it had a foot is
doubtful, so that the height cannot
be estimated. Coarse reddish clay
(thickness 0.012 m.), with a yellow

inside. Decoration in light and
dark red.
On the outside (b) a row of tall
leaves, separated by stalks ; on the
inside, on rim a variety of " tongue
pattern," with a milled border. In
field two fishes and an eel.
Fig. 12.
This plate is perhaps the most
interesting specimen of Class II., 2. The form is unknown to me in any other vase. It
varies from the regidar plate type in that the subject is different on the two sides. The
pattern on the rim is clearly a very early instance of the " tongue pattern " so common
THE MYCENAEAN STYLE: CLASS IIL, DIVISION 1 81
in later vase-painting. Cf. M;ik. Vas. xxxiv. 344. The leaf pattern on the outside is
only a symmetrical arrangement of the design on Myk. Vus. xxxii. 314. The species
of the fishes (perhaps carp) remains douhtful, but the naturalness of the drawing is an
advance of No. 1 on Plate LI.
CLASS III., DIVISION I.
We now cross the great bridge wliich divides the Mycenaean style and find that
the old naturalism has given place to conventionalism. But this is not the only dif-
ference between Classes II. and III. ; technique itself has made great progi*ess. The
clay used is generally red or yellow in color, of a fine clear quality, carefully cleaned
from impurities. The quality of the decoration is more lustrous and glossy, while in
the best specimens the glaze takes on an intense brilliancy. The style of ornamentation
changes, and certain motives used occasionally in the previous classes now become the
favorites, such as spirals, etc. The old plant and marine motives with a few exceptions
(e. g. the murex) have disappeared, and those which are now prominent are paralleled
in other forms of Mycenaean art in stone and metal.
Though the conventionalism of Class III. follows the naturalism of Class II., and
in this sense is a later style, we are not to assume that the manufacture of Class II.
ceased. In fact there is positive proof that the two flourished side by side, since in
the Bee-Hive tomb which we excavated (cf. p. 91 ff) were found vases of both classes.
Such a radical change as that from naturalism to conventionalism is not the work
of a day ; it must have extended over a long period. But such a fact does not argue
against a classification based on ornamentation, where a difference of time is not
necessarily demanded.
Nor should the relation of III. 1 to III. 2 be misunderstood. We cannot regard
them as two absolutely distinct and unrelated styles. I do not for a moment intend
to imply that for a certain period of years Mycenaean potters continued to manufacture
vases of a certain " hall-marked " excellence and then suddenly began to go down
hill. What we call III. 1 is undoubtedly the best work of a certain period of Myce-
naean ceramic art ; III. 2 is the general average of such a period. As the best work of
a given period is only a small proportion of the whole, the small amount of III. 1 com-
pared to III. 2 bears this out. III. 1 bears the same relation to III. 2 that the work
of Euphronios, Hieron, Duris, and Brygos does to the mass of red-figured vases
produced in Athens prior to the Persian wars ; it is the best ceramic art of the time.
The fragments reproduced on Plate LII. are not all that were found, but the
number was not large, and those represented illusti-ate the group. The technique of
all the fragments is substantially the same, the clay red or bright yellow (more often
the former), the decoration varying from red to brown, with black occasionally used
and the glaze of surpassing brilliancy and fineness. The favorite ornaments seem to
be the spiral and the murex.
The majority of the fragments are rims of two-handled bowls or kylixes similar in
form to Myk. Vas. xliv. 76, 83.
28. Rim of bowl. Decoration shades from brown to red. Part of a spiral row, spirals uncon-
nected. Cf. Myh. Vas. vin. 46.
29. Rim of one-handled bowl. Clay extremely delicate. Outer band of spiral brown, inner

vase in Cassel. Arch. Anz. 1899, p. 57, fig. 1.
82 THE VASES AND VASE FKA(iMENTS
30. Rim of bowl. Spiral chain. »
The majority of the fragments of this class bore the decoration of spirals, in chain
or single. Most of the fragments were extremely small.
31 a-C. Tln-ee fiaginent.s from rim of a bowl. Reddish clay, with bright yellow slip and
red decoration. For the toothed edge of c, cf. Myk. Vas. xxiii. 171.
The murex or piu-i)le fish ornament is extremely common. It is curions that we
cannot trace its origin to an earlier class, since it does not occur in Classes I. and
II. Even in Class III. it is impossible to trace any preliminary steps unless we recognize
one of the early essays in the cup from lalysos ; * that, however, seems rather too
conventionalized for a prototype. The arrangement of the pattern varies, the most
common being a row of double murexes as in Myk. Vas. xxxi. 297, or else they are
laid diagonally on their sides.
32. Rim of bowl. Series of murexes placed diagonally to the line of the rim. Cf. Myk. Vas.
vili. 47. Decoration bright red and technique extremely fine.
33. The same.
34. Clay a trifle coarser than is usual in this class and appears burnt. Glaze extremely
brilliaut. Undoubtedly part of a large vase, as the murex is far larger than is usual.
Various Designs.
35. Rim of bowl. Series of parallel zigzags, decreasing in size towards the base. Cf. Myk
Vas. XXX. 273.
36. Greenish clay. The design cannot be reconstructed. The nearest similarity lies in two
fragments of Class IV. (^Myk. Vas. xxxvii. 378, 379), and it is possible that we may have here
as there the combination of a spiral and a ray.
37 a and b. Two fragments from same vase. Net ornament. Cf. Myk. Vas. xx. 146.
38. The same.
39. Rim of bowl. Undoubtedly a suggestion of a guilloche. Cf. Myk. Vas. xxxiv. 337 ;
xix. 134.
40. Rim of bowl. Probably a design similar to Myk. Vas. xxx. 280.
41. Rim of bowl. Cf. 3fyk. Vas. xxxi. 288.
42. Fine red clay, with whitish slip, red brown decoration. Similar pattern to 37, save that
a cross is placed at each corner of the mesh.
43. Similar clay and slip. Half circle at corner of each mesh.
CLASS III., DIVISION 2.
Class III. 2 forms the bulk of all Mycenaean pottery, no matter where found.
Though the largest class of all, it is, as a whole, uninteresting save in regard to its
bearing on contemporary art. There is little exercise of skill on the part of the
potters, who seem to have been contented to turn out large numbers of vases varying
little in form or decoration.
The class differs principally from its predecessor in that the quality as a whole is
decidedly inferior. The clay is coarser and not so carefully cleaned, varying in shade,
red and yellow predominating. The decoration is of many colors, the different shades
of red and brown being the favorites. The paint also is of a very inferior quality, and
on many vases has almost entirely faded. The glaze is generally dull, and never reaches
that lustrousness so characteristic of the preceding class.
In the arrangement of the fragments, the order adopted by Furtwiingler and
' Oaz. Arch. 1879, pi. xxvii., also in Myk. Vas. ix. 56.
THE MYCENAEAN STYLE: CLASS IIL, DIVISION 2
88
Loeschcke has been followed, since the general succession of our fragments differs in
no great degree from that of other Mycenaean fragments. Only a few of the Heraeum
fragments are here presented, but they illustrate all the principal types and the gen-
eral development of the ornamentation.
The condition of the fragments was extremely bad. Out of the whole class we
succeeded in reconstructing only three vases, one of which coming from a small tomb
had almost all the fragments preserved. Another half dozen had about half their
fragments remaining, and twenty or more were represented by perhaps a dozen frag-
ments apiece. More than a hundred were represented by from two to five fragments
apiece. What the total number of vases represented by the fragments was, is impos-
sible to say, as no calculation can come near the truth ; the number certainly ran
into the thousands. As a rule where several fragments from the same vase were forth-
coming, only one or two are here given, unless the scheme of ornamentation was not
plain. As so many cases occurred where fragments of identically the same clay and
technique clearly belonged to different vases, the relation of several fragments to one
vase has been ignored, unless their common origin was clearly shown by a joining or
otherwise.
The field in which ouv fragments lie is practically covered by plates xvii. -xxxv.
of the Mykenische Vasen. The fragments corresponding to plates xxv. and xxvi. we
have already assigned to Class IL 2. It has proved impossible in all cases to follow
Furtwangler and Loeschcke's arrangement exactly, and such variations as are introduced
are justified by the demand of the particular frag-
ments under discussion. I have endeavored to
discuss the natural sequence of the ornamentation,
i. e. to treat the conventionalizing of naturalistic
motives first and the linear ones last, since we
find the Mycenaean style as a whole passing from
linear to naturalistic motives and through the
conventionahzing of the latter, rececUng to linear
themes again, as illustrated by Class IV.

This jug was labeled as coming from the same
tomb as the four small vases of the " dull " finish

me that the label is wrong, as a photograph of the
tomb shows only the four vases already referred
to. It is probable that this jug comes from the
same tomb as Fig. 13.

THE MYCENAEAN STYLE: FLOWER PATTERNS 86
Flower Patterns.
The flower pattern in Mycenaean art is one of the earliest motives ; we have ah-eady
found it in Class IL 2 (cf. Plate LII. 6 and 7), and similar though not identical plants
may be found on the sword-blades from Mycenae.' A comparison of our fragments
with those in Myk. Vas. xxx. shows many points of similarity, but the progression
towards conventionalization mentioned by Furtwiingler and Loeschcke (p. 60) can hardly
be seen here, since in none of our fragments is the drawing of the pistils, seed-bags, and
leaves at all apparent, and all our fragments have arrived at the conventional stage.
The pseud-amphora is the commonest form, though many fragments of bowls like Myk,
Vas. xxx. 276, were found.
28. Shoulder of pseud-amphora. Two clays together, pale red inside, dark red outside, with a
bright yellow slip. Cf. Myh. Vas. xviii. 124 ; xxx. 266.
29. The same.
30. From belly of a bowl. Cf. Myh. Vas. viii. 43 ; xxi. 157.
31. Rim of bowl. Several other fragments found. Cf. Myk. Vas. xvill. 122.
32. Similar design.
33. Similar design. Top of flower ends in a loop. Several other fragments from the same
vase were found.
34. The zigzag corona of the flower now stands by itself. This is one of the commonest
motives, and may be found on dozens of our fragments. Cf. Myh. Vas. ix. 51.
35. Series of zigzags used as border lines.
36 a and b. Two fragments from the same vase ; another smaller fragment was also found.
Brick red clay, probably burnt. The zigzag pattern is used almost exclusively, and suggests a
transition style to the geometric. The half circles as ornaments in field are used in similar fasliion
to the " Running Dog " pattern. Cf . Flinders Petrie, Tel-el- Amama, xxvii. 41-43 ; Myh. Vas.
XV. 96.
37. Flower branch. Cf. Myh. Vas. xxxi. 286.
PLATE LIV.
Flower Branches.
1. Simple form. Dotted row above and below corona.
2. Flower branch similar to Plate IV. No. 32, corona of zigzags. In field toothed wheel.
3. Similar treatment to No. 1.
4. Interior dotted row omitted.
5. Similar to No. 1. Clay burnt to a dark gray.
6. Lower part in form of two spirals curved like volutes.
7. Waving branch to each side, probably as an imitation of a palm-tree. Cf. Myh. Vas.
xxxL 293.
8. Top arranged in triple form, half circles unconnected.
9. Part of large bowl. Triple arrangement of corona, in elaborate form, combined with the
murex. Cf. Myh. Vas. xxxl 298, p. 61. Whether the murex is paired or single cannot be
told with certainty, but probably the former case is true. This combination is a common feature
on vases of this class.
10. Cf. Myh. Vas. xl 72. Similar, but not as elaborate.
11. Half a dozen other fragments of almost identical clay and technique were found. Those
fragments, however, had different motives, and it seems impossible that so many different themes
should be combined on one vase. Hence no reconstruction was attempted. The arrangement of
the motive here is clearly connected with the flower branch just discussed.
12. For the scroll ornament cf. Schliemann, Mykenae, p. 291, fig. 369, Jahrb. II. (1887), p. 55.

86 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Murex, or Purple Fish Patterns. *
The murex pattern is generally arranged in series of single ones, or pairs, the tops
touching the border of the rim of the vase. Furtwiingler and Loesehcke's statement,^
" das Ornament wird besonders haiifig an Bechern und Niipfen verwendet, doeh nur an
solchen deren Innenseite ungefirnisst ist," is not correct, since on several of the Heraeum
fragments, with glaze on the ulterior, was this ornament found.
13. Side of a large bowl, form 3fi/k. Vas. xxxi. 297, about 30 cm. in diameter. Height
cannot be determined, but it was probably the same as the diameter. The clay is of a warm yellow,
but with a tinge of red and yellow slip. Decoration changes from black to brown and dark i-ed.
Murices in single series. Several other fragments of same vase were found.
14 a and b. Two fragments of a kylix, yellow clay. Murexes in single series, rosette under
handle. Several other fragments of same vase were found.
15. Rim of bowl. Simple murex combined with another diagonally. Cf. Myk. Vas. vi. 30.
16. Murex laid diagonally. Dark red glaze on interior.
17. Murex arranged diagonally. Cf. Myk. Vas. viii. 47. Dotted circle inside head of murex.
18. Murex laid horizontally. Brilliant dark red glaze on interior.
19. Rim of large bowl. Dotted circle outside head of murex. The zigzag pattern at the side
is curious and suggests the imitation inscriptions found on black-figured work. Cf. Myk. Vas.
XV. 96, XX. 145, XXI. 154.
20. Murices in pairs, points curving outwards. Dotted circle between the pairs. This varia-
tion where the points curve outwards, and the pair combined in single form, is extremely rare.
Cf. Schliemann, Tiryns, pi. xxii. b, Myk. Vas. xxxi. 299.
21. Alternate murex and pistil.
22. Reddish clay, brown decoration. This ornament is pi'obably a development of the nmrex
pattern.
Linear and Textile Patterns.
The conventionalization of the pictorial ornaments now leads to a steady employment
of linear and textile patterns. Whether the latter are really drawn from those used
in embroideries is impossible to say."
23. From a bowl of precisely the same form and decoration as Myk. Vas. xxxii. 306, save
that here the lozenges of the upper row are double instead of triple in form.
24. Alternating larger and smaller arches. Cf. Myk. Vas. xxxii. 308.
25. The arches are bounded above and below by circles.
26. Small arches in series.
27. From a large bowl. Suggestion of a guilloche. Cf. 3Iyk. Vas. ill. 21.
28. The ornaments in field here consist of circles whose diameter is broken. Cf. Myk. Vas.
XXXII. 313. Perhaps a representation of a mussel-shell open. Cf. B. C. H. 11. pi. xv. 10.
29. Similar, with the addition of a smaller circle inside the larger one.
30. Ornament resembling a reversed E surrounded by semicircle. Cf. Plate LV. 16 ; Myk.
Vas. XXXII. 304, 307, 312. Perhaps the half of a mussel-shell ; cf. Myk. Vas. p. 61, No. 304.
The principle in the following fragments seems to be the division of the vase into
a series of metope-like squares by vertical lines, the vacant spaces being filled by natural
ornaments conventionalized or else textile motives.
31. Simplest form ot design. Series of semicircles back to back separated by a series of lines,
not quite vertical.
32. Similar decoration. Outer vertical lines bounded by series of loops, which is one of the
commonest motives at this time.

tain, but probably that of a three-handled pyxis with rounded base, as in Myk. Vas. XLIV. 34.
Ornament a variation of the " Running
Dog " pattern (see below) growing out of
the loops already mentioned. Perhaps the
ornament may have been intended for a
guilloche. Cf. Myk. Vas. xxxiv. 347.

yellow slip, circular bands on interior. Sim- p j-
ilar decoration on both sides, three perpen-
dicular series of lines, the outer inclosing a herring-bone pattern, the central one zigzags with a
dotted semicircle on each side. Cf. Myk. Vas. xxxm. 327, 330. Numerous other fragments of
precisely this scheme of ornamentation were found.
3. Rim of bowl, reddish yellow clay, continuous zigzag between the perpendiculars and dotted
rosettes. Good technique.
4. The ornament is probably a variation of the palm-tree (cf. Myk. Vas. xxxi. 296). I
have been unable to find another instance exactly similar. Lozenge chain introduced between
the perpendiculars. Another small fragment of the vase was also found.
5. Exactly the same clay and technique as Plate LIV. 11, but it is doubtful whether it belongs
to the same vase. The herring-bone, as on Plate LIII. 34, is here introduced.
6. Herring-bone between the verticals ; one of the commonest Mycenaean motives. Cf. Myk.
Vas. XXXIV. 336.
7. Lozenge chain between the verticals as on 4.
8. Continuous zigzag between the verticals as on 3.
9. The zigzags are here separated. Cf. Myk. Vas. xxxiv. 340. A common motive.
10. The same, broader lines, verticals in pairs.
11. The same, verticals in pairs, closer together.
12. The lines between the verticals are here treated as on 2.
13. Interlacing diagonal lines between the verticals. This form of decoration is especially
characteristic of the shoulder decoration on pseud-amphoras, or three-handled vases. Cf. Mijk.

21. The same, chain bounded by an outer line on each side.
22. Similar to 21, the interior pattern a " Running Dog." Another fragment of the same vase
also found.
It is very probable that in 21 and 22 a guilloche was represented. Cf. Myk. Vas. xxxiv. 328 ;
Schliemann, Tiryns, pi. xxvi. c.
23. " Running Dog " pattern. Cf . Myk. Van. xviii. 131.
24. Probably the same pattern. The ends, however, do not overlap. Cf. Myk. Vas. xv. 96.
25. " Running Dog " pattern, simplest form.
26. The same, double pattern arranged vertically.
27. Probably a development of 24. Cf . Myk. Vas. xv. 96 ; xxi. 154.
It is well to consider here the line decoration, or linear principle, which runs all through
Mycenaean decoration from the earliest times. The examples here cited (Plate LV.)
ought strictly to fall in several of the classes already considered ; but as this linear prin-
ciple has a pecuhar bearing on later periods, especially the Argive style, it is best to
treat these fragments for a moment in one special class. Only those fragments have
been selected which afford an example of fine line decoration ; fragments of large vases
with broad lines as their only decoration were extremely common.
Though some line decoration occurs on almost every vase of the Mycenaean epoch, it
is only during this period, when Class III. flourishes, that we find the steady employ-
ment of the fine as well as the heavy fine, used chiefly on vases of the pseud-
amphora type. The shoulders of such vases are generally filled with various motives,
but from the shoulder to the base the vase is ornamented with a series of parallel lines,
heavy and fine. Such fragments were extremely common at the Heraeum. Their rela-
tion to vases of the Argive style will be more fully discussed in chapter iv.
28. Lower part of funnel-shaped vase, of the so-called " lalysos " type. Cf . Myk. Vas. vii.
42 ; XI. 71. The opening runs the whole length of the vase. Fragments of such vases were
fairly common at the Heraeum, and as far as could be seen the only form of decoration on them
was linear.
29. Belly of pseud-amphora.
30. Base of pseud-amphora.
31. From shoulder of pseud-amphora. On shoulder traces of a flower pattern similar to Plate
LIH. 28. The central lines are bordered by a loop pattern, in series.
32. The same. The spii-als are treated in a more naturalistic fashion, which, combined with
the excellent technique, would seem to denote its standing between Classes II. 2 and III. 1.
There still remain several kinds of vases to be mentioned, which, to judge by technique
and style, are certainly not older than Class III. 2, and most probably belong to it.
Vases of a reddish yellow clay, carefully polished, but without decoration. Frag-
ments of these vases were numerous and filled several baskets. Some specimens were
found in the Bee-Hive tomb (see p. 91). Only a few vases could be restored from the
fragments, and represent mostly kyhxes and amphoras.
THE MYCENAEAN STYLE: CLASS IV 89
Another series, which seems to belong to a separate class, was formed by fragments
exactly similar to the one-handled cups from the Bee-Hive tomb. (Of. Fig. 32.) The
clay is generally fine, red or yellow in color, with a brilliant glaze, the rims and feet
being ornamented with bands. The body of the vase is covered with a decoration hard
to describe ; it seems as if the color had been sprayed on the surface of the vase.
Whether this is the same technique exhibited by the vases from Ahki {Myk. Vas.
xvni. 119, 125), I cannot say ; it is not common, and thus far the only similar speci-
mens I have been able to note are from the Acropolis at Athens and Aegina. Just
what position they occupy in the Mycenaean style is doubtful, but the several points of
technique, clay, glaze, and color would seem to assign them to Class III. in the first
division rather than the second.
Of the class of small, hand-made vases, mentioned in Myk. Vas. p. 63, the Heraeum
furnished one intact (Fig. 16) and numerous fragments of others. This is a one-handled
jug (height, 0.065 m.) of hght reddish clay,
with yellow slip, the decoration varying be-
tween black and red. Cf. Myk. Vas. xv. 101,
102, XVI. 108 ; Schliemann, Mycenae, p. 66,
No. 27.
Another vase belonging to Class III. is Fig.
17 ; height, 0.06 m. ; diameter, 0.051 m. Two
legs and handle restored. Greenish clay, with pj^ ^g j-,g. 17.
black bands on body and legs, dots on rim.
The form of this vase is identical with Myk. Vas. xliv. 192, save that the legs do
not turn up at the bottom. Cf. Jahrh. I. (1886), p. 134, fig. 3006.
CLASS IV.
The number of fragments belonging to Class IV. is very small. In only a few cases
were more than three fragments of the same vase found, and even then the design could
not always be reconstructed. The peculiar fact is that the fragments of this class which
we possess do not show the wealth of ornamentation we should have expected. A very
slight study of vases belonging to this class from other localities shows that it is thor-
oughly decadent, with a wealth of ornamentation linear rather than pictorial in charac-
ter. The Heraeum fragments shoAV this linear feature, and even .though the wealth of
ornamentation be lacking, the similarity between them and other vases of the class, in
decoration, clay, technique, etc., is strong enough to warrant our placmg them in Class
IV. without question.
The clay of all our fragments of this class is much coarser than in the previous class,
and is generally greenish in tone. The color has lost the lustre which was prominent
before, while the glaze is generally dull and never rises to the level of that of Class III.
in point of brilliancy. Though the forms of the vases cannot always be determined, it is
safe to say that bowls were the most common. It may also be stated that fragments
of this class which belong to vases with large openings do not always have the interior
glazed {Myk. Vas. p. 63), or, to put it differently, the absence of glaze on the backs of
krge fragments of bowls is no proof that they are not connected with Class IV. In fact,
among the Heraeum fragments of this class, glaze on the back was the exception rather
than the rule. .
As the number of fragments is so few, no attempt has been made to arrange them in
no THE VASES AND VASK FRAGMENTS
chronological order, nor, indeed, conld any siitisfactory classification of ornamentation be
fonnd, since in an over-elaborate style like Class IV. it is a difficult tasE, when deaUng
with a few scattered fragments, to evolve any definite scheme. In the main the order is
based upon plates xxxv. and xxxvi. of the Mykenische Vasen.
33. Pattern similar to Plate LIV. 38. Alternate diamonds in the interspaces of the arches.
Cf. 3Ii/k. Vas. xxxv. 351. Two other fragments of the same vase were found.

ing, there can be no doubt that it was somewhat
similar to Mi/k. Vas. xxxi. 296, with a lozenge of
interlaced lines on either side.
*'"• ^^' Throughout Class IV. the " Heraldic " scheme
or " Wappenstil " plays a prominent part and is illustrated by several of our fragments.
35. Similar " Heraldic " scheme. Band on interior just below the rim. Cf. Myk. Vas. XLI.
424.
36. Similar arrangement. Continuation of design to a circle of interlacing lines.
37. Decoration much faded. Evidently a development of Myk. Vas. XXIX. 256 ; cf. Mi/k.
Vas. xxxv. 357.
38. Possibly a development of Mi/k. Vas. xxxi. 296. Though dots are frequently employed
as the groundwork of a design, their use in place of the line is very curious. A somewhat
analogous use occurs in fragments from Tiryns. (Cf. below No. 46.) The " Heraldic " scheme
suggests Myk. Vas. XXXV. 356.
39. Shoulder of pseud-amphora. Ellipse inclosing series of zigzags.
40. Perhaps similar arrangement to Myk. Vas. xxxvi. 376.
41. From a bowl. Band below rim on inside. Similar " Heraldic " scheme to Pig. 18.
42. From a large vessel.
43. Reddish clay, fine technique. Elliptical lines inclosing sei-ies of zigzags curving to a point.
44 a-d. Four fragments from same bowl. Greenish clay, with black decoration. The arrange-
ment of the design is extremely difficult to restore. That a bird was intended seems fairly
evident if a (the head) be compared with Myk. Vas. xxxvi. 364, and C (the wing) with
xxxviii. 383. Perhaps like Schliemann, Tiryns, pi. x. 45.
BIRDS, ANIMALS, AND HUMAN FIGURES.
Though the use of figures, animal or human, is one of the later innovations of the
Mycenaean style and a characteristic feature of Class IV., all vases which show this use
do not necessarily belong to that class. Such figures seem to have been introduced
during the latter period of Class III. Only half a dozen of such fragments were found
at the Heraeum, but no satisfactory explanation of the lack of such fragments is forth-
coming. All except the last (No. 47) belong to Class III.
45 a and b. Two fragments from the same vase. Brick red clay, with dark red decoration.
Two birds, somewhat resembling a wild duck, are represented. Both fragments show an ex-
tremely advanced style of technique and belong to Class III.
46. liear part of base of the well-known " Tiryns " type. The legs and body of the horse are
filled in by dots as in No. 38. An identical use may be found in a fragment from Tiryns (Schlie-
mann, Tiryns, pi. xxi. a).

0.125 m. ; length, 0.22 m. ; thickness of clay, O.OOG m. Reddish clay, with lighter core and pale
reddish slip, dull red decoration. Upper part of two fishes
represented. Class III.
The arrangement of fishes in a symmetrical series with a
flower branch between them is a natural characteristic of the
third class. The use of crosses instead of dots as decoration
for the body is quite akin to that on plate xi. 48 of Schlie-
mann's Mycenae. A similar arrangement may be noted on a
lebes from Cyprus in the British Museum. (^Excavations in
Fig. 19, Cypncs, p. 35, fig. 66, No. 1038.) Cf. also Petrie, Kahun,
Guroh, and Ilawara, pi. xxviii. 9.
47 Base of a bowl. Reddish yellow clay, with black decoration. Lower part of human figure
with a tree or branch.
This is the only Mycenaean fragment from the Heraeum on which the human figure
occurred. Its treatment is somewhat curious, and savors more of those figures on Geo-
metric vases. However, it seems doubtful whether any Geometric influence can be here
recognized.
Fig. 20 (Form, Myk. Vas. xliv. 63 ; drawing on Plate LXIV. 1.) One-handled jug ; height,
0.054 m. Found at the southeast of the Second Temple. Yellow
clay and slip with decoration varying from black to red. On base
rays, and figure zone on the body ; another figure zone on the
shoulder, and stripes on the neck and rim. Vertical zigzag on the
handle between two perpendicular lines. Intact.
This vase is of special interest, since it shows the transi-
tion between the Mycenaean and Argive styles. Clay and
technique are unmistakably Mycenaean, but the general
scheme of decoration savors more of the Argive style,
since we have an animal zone and a very primitive example
of a ray pattern around the base.
On the shoulder are represented three animals, but so
rudely drawn that it is impossible to identify them. They
have large open mouths, three projections above, which may
represent ears and horns, and a tail almost like an extra leg.
division. Three animals precisely similar are represented on the main zone, inverted.
This inversion gives an extremely curious effect, as the animals thus resemble boats with
their sailors, the ray pattern serving as waves ; but it is plahi that such an effect is acci-
dental. This inversion of the figures is paralleled by two skyphoi from the Heraeum
(v. p. 151), and does not, as far as I know, occur on any Mycenaean vase.
This vase has been assigned to the Mycenaean class purely on technical grounds, for
it shows so perfectly the characteristics of both the Mycenaean and Argive styles that
it is difficult to decide to which class it really belongs. It must be admitted that no
animal on any Mycenaean vase resembles these figures in any way ; but, for that matter,
no similar animal can be found on any Argive vase.

THE BEE-HIVE TOMBS NEAR THE HERAEUM.
Two tombs were discovered on the 20th and 23d of April, 1894. Both have been
described in the previous volume of this publication, and consequently there is no need
of devoting any time to the consideration of their architectural features. The contents
of these tombs was as follows : —
92
THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
TOMB I.
49 vases, 32 entirely or nearly whole, and 17
in fragments.
TOMB II.
Fi-agments of vases.
4 steatite whorls.
1 red agate bead.
1 bronze ring.
3 terra-cotta figurines.
1 terra-cotta chair.
1 island stone.
4 steatite whorls.
I ivory needle.
Glass beads.
The few vase fragments from the second tomb were mostly undecorated, and pei*-
mitted no reconstruction. A few fragments of bones were also found ; but in the main
the contents of the tomb are not worth a detailed consideration.
In the first tomb the results were more gratifying. Three layers were found, the
upper containing bones and four vases (mostly cups), at a depth of 2.79 m. ; the second,
which contained a skull, some calcined bones, and the majority of the vases and frag-
ments, at a depth of 3.28 m. Ten cm. below the second came the last layer, which,
besides a few fragments of bones and a cup (No. 18), contained a small separate grave
near the entrance of the dromos (length, 1.26 m, ; width, 0.4:5 m. ; depth, 0.66 m.).
Through some accident during the transportation to Athens, several of the labels were
lost, and it is now impossible, in the case of some of the vases or fragments, to decide
from which layer they came.
The classes represented were II. 2 and III. 2. No specimens which showed the
advanced technique of III. 1 were found, nor were there any rough pieces which could
belong to II. 1. At the same time there appears to have been no distinction in the
matter of layers, since vases of both classes were scattered about in each layer. Certain
it is, however, that all these vases are products of the same period.
The shapes represented were as follows : —
II jugs with handle. 9 cups with handle.
2 jugs with handle and spout. 4 kylixes.
9 three-handled vases. 1 pseud-amphora.
6 amphoras. 4 vases, represented by fragments, but not
3 cups. permitting a complete restoration.
Jugs with Handle.
1. Height, 0.207 m. Form, Mijl: Vas. xliv. 63. Coarse

Two more jugs (height, 0.235
m. and 0.22 m.) were found in
the second layer, of precisely simi-
lar form and technique. Both had
a small hole at the base of the
handle.
2. Height, 0.155 m. Similar
shape to 1, but with handle a lit-
tle more flaring. Reddish clay,
with a highly polished yellow slip,
without any decoration.
Half of another vase of same form and technique was found.

sel has never been satisfactorily ex-
plained ; similar examples have been
found at Troy in the fourth city
(Schliemann, llios, p. 557, fig. 11,
96), and at lalysos. {Mt/k. Vas. ii. 15.) According to Furtwiingler and Loeschcke these ves-
sels were used to burn incense or some sweet-smelling powder for sanitary reasons, and this expla-
nation seems very plausible, especially as we find the cover also pierced with holes.

Amphoras.
Form, Myk. Vas. XLIV. 44, except for a slight variation in the
foot. Coarse brick red clay without decoration. The exterior
r-^fJI^^XX has been entirely covered with a white wash, almost entirely
^ \ worn away.
I The principal feature of this amphora lies in the white wash.
' ] This, as is shown by many of our fragments, was a very common
feature, and half a dozen baskets are filled with fragments
showing it. Generally it seems to be employed on vases of
coarse clay, large pithoi or small wheel-made saucers. While
this technique is employed very often on Mycenaean terra-cotta
figurines and later vases (e. g. the white lekythoi), it is ex-
tremely rare on archaic vases (two in Berlin, 1309, 1629), and
I know of no other instance in the Mycenaean style. From its
frequency in our fragments, it may perhaps be considered as a
local fashion.
Another small amphora (height, 0.09 m.) similar in shape, of
yellowish clay with a reddish tinge, but without the white wash, was found in the second layer.
7. (Fig. 25.) Height, 0.105 m. Light red clay, with
yellow slip. Faded black glaze over all, inside and out^
side (except base).
This vase differs from the ordinary Mycenaean am-
phora in that the handles have no connection with the
mouth of the vase. The absence of all decoration and
the presence of the glaze proves that a large part of the
glazed fragments which the Heraeum furnished must
be placed in the Mycenaean period.

corresponded to form 85, but as one side was completely broken away, it cannot be told whether
the vase possessed one or two handles. They were all from 10 to 12 cm. in height and from 11 to
15 cm. in diameter. One (form 82) was elliptical in shape, having a diameter across the handles
of 13 cm. ; at right angles to the handles, 14.| cm.

96 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
MISCKLLANEOUS VASES.
Of the vases found intact, or partially so, mentioned in the Introduction, by far the
greater part consisted of small, hastily made vases, with or without decoration, the exact
date of which is extremely doubtful. The quality of the clay is distinctly inferior to
that of the Mycenaean vases, and in many respects corresponds to that used in vases of
the Geometric style, so that the majority of them may well belong to that period.
A comparison of the vases without decoration with the decorated vases is the only
means for esttiblishing a date for the former, and in the case of the latter the following
data are available: (1) The most primitive examples (the saucers) show a use of
" didl " color, which, together with their rather hasty technique, may perhaps assign
them to the earlier periods of the Mycenaean style. (2) One small three-handled jug,
which, from its pohshed surface, belongs more properly to the class discussed on p. 99,
had a linear band of '"dull" color. (3) Practically all the jugs, amphorae, and bowls
were made of a coarse clay, mox*e resembling that used in the Geometric vases, and if
they are to be included in the Mycenaean style at all, would seem to belong to the very
latest period. These, I shall endeavor to show later, constitute the real link between the
Mycenaean and Argive styles. At the same time, I do not regard their sequence from
primitive times as existing without a break, and for that reason I do not consider them
as examples of the "Argive Linear" style which Professor Waldstein would consider
them to be. It cannot, however, be assumed that their influence on any particular style
was marked ; they are simply the examples of the low level to which the potter's trade
could sink, and from their large number it is reasonable to suppose they were the
cheapest vases which the devotee at the shrine could buy. Being rough and small, they
were not so easily broken, and were thus in far better preservation than larger vases of
better technique. To assign an exact date to them is impossible, nor can they be
arranged in any exact chronological order, except where the development of the shape
can be readily seen.
Three general types may be distinguished : —
Saucers.
Bowls (with or without handles).
Jugs (with one, two, or three handles).
Sance7's.
Three distinct varieties may be noted : —
a. Plain, hand or wheel made.
b. With central boss.
c. With handles.
a.
1. The most primitive examples seem to be a series of small
hand-made saucers, of grayish or reddish clay, pierced by a
hole near the rim, and varying from 5 to 7 cm. in diameter,
and 2 to 3 cm. in height. Several hundred were found in-
tact or in fragments. The ornamentation is of the simplest
character, consisting of two lines crossing each other at right
angles. Whether they belong to the dull or lustrous Mycenaean
vases is difficult to decide, as the decoration is extremely poor,

Diameter, 0.05 m. Variety is obtained by increasing the number of cross-lines,

wliith vary from two to eight. As a rule the ornamentation is confined to the interior,
but cases occur with the same design on the exterior as well. The earliest of the series
is a saucer of red clay 5 cm. in diameter, with ribbed edges and two incised cross-lines
on the interior. This probably falls in the primitive period.
Similar saucers were found in large numbers at Hissarlik, Mycenae, and Tiryns. In
some respects they resemble saucers from Bos-ojiik (Koerte, Athen. Mitt. 1899, pi. iii,
7) and Syra ('E<^t,/x. 'Apx- 1899, pi. ix. 25).
2. As a development of these we have a series of wheel-made saucers, of reddish
clay (e. g. Fig. 32 b), from 4 to 7 cm. in diameter, of which about fifty were found.
The inner edge of the rim is either sharply defined or rounded, and none have any
decoration. The clay is of a
slightly coarser variety than
that used in the preceding
examples.
1. The earliest examples are
hand-made, of a reddish clay,
without decoration, having
a small boss in the middle ;
they resemble the earliest ex-
amples of class a, save for
their lack of decoration and
the addition of the boss.
2. The wheel-made type (Fig. 32 c) corresponds in character of clay (wheel-made)
and lack of decoration to a, 2. The principal variations lie in the height of the boss,
which in some cases rises above the edge of the saucer. As in a, 2, the edges of the
saucer are either rounded or sharp. A few examples were found with a series of parallel
dashes of pauit (dull) on the rim.

Two varieties may be noted with one handle, and one with two handles.
The simplest form of the one-handled saucer is hand-made, the edges rolled over
so as to form a curve down to the bottom of the vase, and the handle, of the simplest
form, parallel with the sides. (Fig. 32 d.) This type was extremely common. A varia-
tion is introduced occasionally, where a plas-
tic dab of clay is placed on each side of the
handle along the rim, similar to those on the
shoulders of our terra-cotta figurines (Fig.
32 e) ; this saucer was entirely covered
with a brown glaze, worn away in places. A
few specimens were noted -ndth one handle,
and three plastic dabs of clay, arranged so as
to form a symmetrical scheme on the four
sides of the vessel. While the majority of
these saucers are un decorated, some few are
covered with a didl dark glaze, badly worn.
All the saucers with two handles show these plastic projections on each side ot the

haiulle. Tlie earliest example is haiul-macle, of precisely similar clay and technique to
those first mentioned under a, with four cross-lines on the interior. The Afteel-made
types show a decided advance in execution. They are almost flat (a trifle over a centi-
metre in height, and from six to seven centimetres in diameter), the edges well defined, and
they are made of a dark red clay without decoration. About a dozen specimens were found.
As the quality of the clay resembles more closely the Geometric clay, and as they are
exactly paralleled in shape by several of our bronze saucers, it is certain that they must
fall in a rather later period, perhaps about the eighth century.
Bowls.
The earliest examples of bowls seem to be contemporary with the most primitive
siiucers mentioned above ; they are hand-made, of very rude technique, the sides raised
a trifle. In some cases a small dab of clay is added to the rim to represent a handle.
None have any decoration.
The total number of bowls found was between one and two hundred ; of these a few
are hand-made, but the greater part are wheel-made. Slight variations in the forms may
be detected, but hardly enough to warrant a regular classification.
The hand-made bowls are either plain or decorated, rounded at the base or else
provided with a flat base. None have handles. The decoration invariably consists
of one, two, or three narrow bands encircling the bowl just below the shoidder. A dozen
examples were found where the vase had been covered with a white paint (as in No. 6 of
the Bee-Hive tomb : Fig. 24). On one example a straight or a wavy band had been jjainted
in red ; this was added after the final firing as in the case of terra-cottas, and is easily
friable. None of these bowls exceeded 3 cm. in height or 5 cm. in diameter.
Something over a hundred wheel-made bowls were found, the majority of a coarse
reddish clay, similar to that of the wheel-made saucers. Only a few examples bore any
decoration. The form is generally the same with the following variations. The rim is
either flat, slightly curved, or sharply emphasized as in the saucers ; the profile sometimes
flares sharply outward and downward so that the diameter is greater at the base than at
the opening. As a rule the profile curves inward towards the base, which is flat. The
usual form of decoration consists of one or two broad or fine wavy bands on the shoulder.
The following is the best example : —
Fig. 33. Height, 0.024 m. ; diameter, 0.047 m. Dark clay, seemingly burnt.
On shoulder dark brown wavy band with yellow dots. Similar dotted band on
rim.
This is probably one of the latest of the series, as the clay is more like that
of the Geometric vases in texture and the technique more advanced. It is
probably one of the earliest instances of the Geometric snake. The use of yellow dots seems to be
a peculiarity of the Argolid and will be discussed later.
A few bowls were found, the rims ornamented by three plastic heads of animals,
probably calves.
Fig. 34. Height, 0.026 m. ; diameter, 0.043 m. Red clay.
Further another class may be mentioned of a technique slightly
more advanced, where the bowl is provided with a foot and two large
handles rising above the rim, similar in form to Iluk. Vas. xliv. 16,
Fig. 34. but without any decoration.
THE MYCENAEAN STYLE: JUGS 99
Jwjs.
These numbered over five hundred and formed the majority of all the Heraeuiu vases
intact or partially so. The greater part of them are wheel-made. As usual two classes
of these were observed, those with decoration and those without. The greater part of
the undecorated vases were exactly similar in size, form, and technique to the decorated
vases, but a special class of hand-made undecorated vases existed which demands a more
careful discussion.
I.
"Without Decoration.
These vases all show the same peculiarities. The clay is of a dark red or yellow, the
outside of which has undergone a very brilliant polish, and in some cases through the
action of the fire has become bright red in places. Two shapes are represented. One-
handled jugs or oinochoai and three-handled jugs. All are small, the largest not more
than 12 cm. in heiofht.
We are able to date with a fair degree of certainty the period in which these vases
fall. First, one specimen of the handled jugs had on the shoiUder a wavy band which is
decidedly dull, not lustrous in character ; secondly, other specimens have been found in a
gi-ave at Syracuse along with vases of the Argive style (second period).' Thus we obtain
two termini, which show that these vases were manufactured as early as the Mycenaean
dull period (fifteenth century) and as late as the Middle Argive period (eighth century).
Most of the shapes are similar to those used in the Argive style, only slightly more
primitive in character, and naturally so, seeing that they are hand-made. A very few, which
show the most developed form, are wheel-made and are probably the latest. At the same
time the example from the Syracusan grave is certainly hand-made, showing that the use
of the wheel was not universal even in that period of advanced archaism.
One-/ta)idled Jugs.
Two distinct forms may be noted, those with a circular and those with a trefoil rim
(oinochoe). The latter show a technique more advanced, which fact, together with the
form, assigns them to a later date than the first essays. At the same time it is certain

find that the body is either round with a handle rising above the rim, or cyhndrical with
the top of the handle level with the rim.

Several other examples of this same shape were found, but this jug alone pos-
sessed any decoration.
A few examples were found where the neck is slightly longer in proportion to
the body and the handle dropped lower than the rim. Cf. Ilios, Fig. 1140.

Two types may be noted, as in the undecorated jugs,
those with three handles.
Of the one-handled jugs, almost all followed the same type with but slight variations,
the opening being circular and the neck broad or narrow. The trefoil lip was seen only

This is by far the best specimen of the type and the most

The decoration follows a consistwit scheme, in that the body is reserved for parallel
stripes or bands and the shoulder for other motives, as rays, vertical lines, wavy bands,
zigzags, rosettes, etc. The neck is occasionally ornamented in similar fashion.

CHAPTER III.
THE GEOMETRIC STYLE.
It would seem at first sight as if vases of the Geometric style were the most nu-
merous at the Heraeum, since their fragments fiUed about twice as many baskets as either
those of the Mycenaean or Argive styles. But as Geometric fragments are generally fairly
large in size, since they belong to large vases, and the Argive fragments extremely
small, it was found that the actual number of vases represented by Argive fragments
was considerably larger than those represented by the Geometric.
For many reasons an intelligent presentation of the Geometric fragments has proved
extremely difficult. Owing to the larger size of the vases, hardly a single one was found
intact, and in no case could more than a third of any vase be reconstructed, though
some vases were represented by several hundred fragments apiece. Although the num-
ber of shapes represented is extremely large, many are so closely allied to each other —
the chief variations being in the number of handles, the shape of the neck, etc. — that,
without the whole, or at least the greater part of a vase, a systematic classification based
upon shapes becomes difficult, if not impossible. Then, too, almost the entire surface of
the vase is covered with a decoration combining many different motives, and in such
a case it was difficult to decide which fragments should be presented and which not,
since there Avas danger, in a classification based on ornamentation alone, of treating sep-
arately motives which belonged to the same vase. Finally, hardly a single new type of
this style was found at the Heraeum ; the decoration on almost every fragment repre-
sented may be paralleled by dozens of vases scattered through the museums of Europe.
The style also presents this peculiarity, that it is far more conservative than any other
102 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
style, and seems less susceptible to progressive ideas. The Heraeum fragineuts, which
probably cover a period of two centuries, are marked by their monotony and consistent
adherence to a general scheme. Types are to be distinguished, of course, but such a
classification as proved practicable with the Mycenaean and Argive styles becomes impos-
sible here.'
The fragments here presented illustrate the development of the various motives so
extensively employed. At the same time this classification has been adopted solely as a
working hypothesis, since the nature of the material forbids even an approach to finality ;
that can only be secured by a classification based upon material larger, more comprehen-
sive, and in better condition than that furnished by the Heraeum.
As the character of the decoration on our fragments is practically identical with that of
Dipylon ware, the question immediately arises whether our fragments were made in the
Argolid or imported from Attica, since no other districts can well claim their manufacture.
Though certainty on this point is impossible, the evidence seems to point to the former
hjrpothesis. Fragments of this style have been found at both Mycenae and Tiryns in
large quantities, showing that the style was a common one in the Argolid. As the
amount of Mycenaean ware found there is so large as to point to a very flourishing
vase industry, there seems no valid reason why Geometric ware should not have been
manufactured there also. Lastly, the clay of the Heraeum fragments is heavy, carelessly
cleaned, and of a yellowish or greenish tinge, whUe that of the Dipylon vases is lighter,
cleaner, and of a reddish shade ; the decoration also of the Heraeum fragments is in
general of a duller lustre and less decided in its character than the Attic.
One of the radical points of difference between the Mycenaean and Geometric styles
lies in the clay, and the difference is especially apparent to the touch. The quality
of the gi-ain in the Geometric is far coarser than in the Mycenaean vases, and never, even
in the best examples, does it attain to the lightness and smoothness of the latter.
Whether this difference results from the employment of clay from a different bed or from
different technical methods in its preparation, I am unable to say. But as the differ-
ence between the clay of Mycenaean vases found in Attica and the Dipylon vases is just
as great as in the case of our fragments," it does not necessarily argue that none of our
Geometric vases were manufactured in the Argolid ; it would rather be a cause for
wonder if they were not made there.
It can hardly be said that the Geometric fragments from the Heraeum throw much
Ught on the vexed question of the origin of the Geometric style in Greece. Up to the
present moment three widely different views have been proposed : (1) the old view,
which has now, I think, been generally abandoned, that it was the result of some Eastern
influence (Egyptian, Carian, or Ionian) ; (2) the view expressed by Furtwangler and
Loeschcke, that the style was the result of the Dorian invasion ; (3) the last and most
radical view, advocated by Wide and Wolters, that the Geometric style is an autoch-
thonous growth, a " Bauernstil," as opposed to the " Herrenstil " of the Mycenaean
civihzation, and the direct result of the primitive forms of decoration, but subject to
some external influence which may have been supplied by some such movement as the
Dorian invasion.
1 Since tlie above was written, Dr. Wide's analysis of same time au effort will be made to mention all the types
the Geometric style has appeared in the Jahrhuch for cited by Wide which could be identified among the He-
1899 (pp. 2G ff., 78 ff., and 188 ff.) and 1900 (p. 49 ff.). raeuni fragments.
It may be readily seen that such an arrangement as that ^ See p. 65, note, on the results of Dr. Washington's
adopted by Wide is out of the question with the material investigations touching this point.
from the Heraeum, for the reasons given above. At the
ORIGIN OF THE GEOMETRIC STYLE 103
From Wide's investigations at Aphidna, his contention that the primitive elements for
the Geonietric style are to be found in Greece seems to be satisfactorily established ;
also, from his analysis of the survival of Mycenaean motives in the Geometric style
{Athen. 3Htt. XXII. (1897), p. 233 If.), it may be easily seen how close is the connec-
tion between the two styles. But neither theory is sufficient to account for the true
Geometric style, which, as he admits himself, does not show the transitional stages of
development which were to have been expected if the style were derived directly from
the Mycenaean.
For the Heraeum fragments it must be said that only a few scattered specimens (e. g.
Plate L. 15, 16, and 17) show the existence of Wide's pre-Dorian elements ; such speci-
mens, however, are more in line with Professor Waldstein's linear theory, and are not
good examples of the " Bauernstil." That a small number of fragments, which, though
Geometric as far as clay and technique were concerned, also show distinctly the sur-
vival of Mycenaean motives, points to a close connection between the two styles. At
the same time, the difference between such fragments and those of the pure Geometric
style is so great that it is difficult to believe that tlie Geometric style could possibly have
originated as the natural sequence of such prototypes.
The need for some decided infusion of fresh ideas is the chief obstacle against the
entire acceptance of Wide's theory. As we can hardly assume that the finished Geo-
metric style is the natural outcome of previous conditions, subject to no outside influence,
we must seek some reason for such a phenomenon, and of all the solutions offered, the
theory of the Dorian invasion seems to my mind the most satisfactory.
While the actual occurrence of such a migration has never been conclusively estab-
lished, it is generally agreed that some great upheaval took place in Greece during the
eleventh century b. c. Certainly all the phases of the civilization which succeeded the
Mycenaean period show a radical change of style, which can hardly be accounted for by
a purely natural and unaided development. It is too much to assume that the people
who brought about such a change were necessarily identical with the people of the
" Hallstatt " period, though the similarity between objects of that period and the Geo-
metric style is extremely striking. As the Geometric style is found at the Heraeum
practically full-grown (as is also the case in Attica), it remains to be seen whether some
external movement can account for its growth.
Now, granting for the moment that the Geometric style could have developed in
Attica along the lines laid down by Wide, the same can hardly be true at Argos ; were
such the case we should certainly expect to find a steady and continuous development
from primitive or Mycenaean times. The Hnear theory for the origin of the Argive
style can hardly apply here. Since an autochthonous gro^vth can scarcely account for
the style at the Heraeum, some external influence is absolutely necessary. It would
seem that at a time when the Mycenaean civilizjition in the Argolid was on its decline
there appeared a new influence, which effectually finished the Mycenaean civilization,
and brouo-ht in with it no new elements (since almost aU of them had been in use
before), but a new and radical combination of those elements. Seeing that these ele-
ments are linear, and thus characteristic of all peoples during the primitive stages of
their civilization, it matters little who these people were, though they may weU have been
the Dorians; the main point is that they brought with them a new style, or new arrange-
ment of motives already in use. It is hard to see how any other explanation can account
for the rise of the Geometric style in the Argolid ; with Attica the case is not so evident.
104 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
We have alreiuly pointed out that, ext-ept for a iW sHght techniial differences, the
Geometric style in the ArgoUd is practically identical with that of Attica. If we assume
that Wide's theory of an autochthonous development for the style in Attica is true,
and that some external influence created the style in the Argolid, we are confronted hy
a most surprising contradiction of facts, — that two different influences at work in two
different places siiould produce substantially the same results. Theoretically such a case
might be possible, but not practically ; one iuHuence must be responsible for both styles.
Therefore it does not seem difficult to assume that this external influence (if Dorian it
be) was felt in Attica as well as Argos. Such a theory would supply the lacuna, which Wide
admits, in the comj)lete development of the style, and does not preclude the existence of
an earlier, primitive Geometric style in Attica. Although the Attic historians always
claimed that Attica had never been overrun by the Dorians, the legend of Codrus shows
that she was not untouched by their movement, and there seems no reason why the legend
of the movement of some tribe against the Attic frontier should not be symbolical of a
steady movement from the Peloponnesus along the shores of the Saronic gulf to the very
confines of Attica.
To assign a chronology to these events is impossible. They cannot have taken place
at once, but were probably spread out over half a century. But while by this reasoning
the Dipylon style is shown to be slightly younger than the Argive Geometric, it is not
implied that the former is the result of the latter, but that it is the result of the same
principle as the latter which first made itself felt in Argos, and finding the conditions in
Attica practically the same, naturally accomplished there the same results.
The relation of the Geometric style to the Argive, with which it is closely connected,
will be discussed in chapter IV.
In the Argive Geometric fragments three distinct types may be detected : —
I. The earliest or transitional stage from the Mycenaean.
II. Purely Geometrical style.
111. The introduction of animal and human figures, genre scenes, and development of bands of
figures.
CLASS I.
TRANSITIONAL STAGE.
Fragments of this class were not very numerous, and, as no vases were preserved entire,
they do not lend themselves to a satisfactory arrangement. Two variations of this class
were noted, — fragments of distinctly Geometric clay with Mycenaean ornamentation,
and fragments of Mycenaean clay Avith Geometric ornamentation. At the same time the
scheme of decoration is treated rather from a Mycenaean than a Geometrical standpoint,
and it cannot be assumed that these fragments are the result of the new influence; it is
most probable that they mark the low ebb to which the Mycenaean style was sinking, as
the fourth class lustrous finish declined. The difference in the clay would seem to show,
either that at the end of the Mycenaean period some change had been made in the })re-
paration of the clay, or that for some reason it was taken from different beds. How-
ever, in view of the similarity in clay of all Geometric vases, wherever found, it seems
more likely that the difference between it and Mycenaean clay lies solely in the manner
of preparation.
If, therefore, this change in the preparation of the clay took place before the Dorian
invasion, the Geometric style is simply the supplanting of the Mycenaean motives by
purely Geometrical ones.
GEOMETRIC STYLE: EARLIEST EXAxMPLES 106
Wide has endeavored in his article on the survival of Mycenaean motives in the Geo-
metric style {Af/u'}i. Mitf. XXIL [1897], p. 233) to trace the development of the vari-
ous motives which had their origin in the Mycenaean style during the later period. I
cannot, however, agree with his assertion that the centre of the Mycenaean activity lay
in the islands. Wide bases this claim on the supposition that the vases which show this
connecting link between the Mycenaean and Geometric styles have been found only on
the islands. Such a supposition cannot now be entertained, since not only are many of
these types to be seen on our fragments, but also on vases recently found in Attica. Of
the motives mentioned in Wide's article, the following occur at the Heraeum on various
fragments mentioned below. (The page references are from Wide's article.)
Toothed wheel and star (p. 235, fig. 3).
One-haiidled-jug (p. 237, fig. 5). Numerous fragments of jugs with precisely similar decora-
tions wei-e found. Also several handles with a plastic snake.
Amphora (p. 288, fig. 6). Fragments of similar amphoras were extremely numerous at the
Heraeum. Dozens of fragments belonging to rims showed a lozenge chain, with or without a cen-
tral dot. Equally numerous were the lozenge chains formed by interlacing lines, the rhomboids
(single) and " Running Dog " patterns.
(P. 238, fig. 7.) Several fragments from the shoulder of a vase showing similar decoration were
found. The form is uncertain, but as the base of a spout was apparent, it is probably a jug similar
to the Mycenaean ones with one handle. The clay is coarse and of a dark red color. The decora-
tion on both shoulder and belly consists of a net pattern (not a meander, as in the Munich vase),
the spaces filled by rosettes or dotted lozenges. Under the base of the spout is a leaf pattern.
(P. 240, fig. 8.) Circles with cross in the centre, arranged singly in pairs or in series, were
among the commonest types on the Heraeum fragments.
(P. 244, fig. 14 a.) Several fragments with this motive were found.
(P. 246, fig. 17.) At least a hundred fragments from the rims of large bowls showed this com-
bination of a wave pattern and dotted circles.
The preceding enumeration of the various types is valuable as showing the occm-rence
of Wide's types at the Heraeum. The following fragments are here introduced to show
the use of Mycenaean motives on a Geometric clay. It must be remembered, however,
that the difference in clay is hardly perceptible in the plate ; m all these fragments it is
generally greenish or yellowish in tone (sometimes reddish), coarse in quality, and not
very carefully cleaned, never possessing, except in a few cases, the smooth surface so
characteristic of Mycenaean clay.
PLATE LVI.
1. Fragment of a large vessel, probably an amphora. Coarse yellow clay ; decoration varying
from dark to light brown. Checkerboard and circles.
The quality of the decoration resembles the Mycenaean more closely than does that of any other
fragment. We have here the circles (as in Wide, loc. cit. p. 244, fig. 14 a) with the Geometric
checkerboard. Both are treated in a slightly freer fashion than we shall find usual. Several other
similar fragments were found.
2. From a bowl. Reddish clay, with a yellow slip. Spirals in dark red.
3. The same. Red glaze on interior, bright red decoration.
4. The same : coarse yellow clay. Red decoration.

5. From rim of large bowl. Greenish yellow clay, with bands on interior below nm ; brown
decoi-ation very faded.
The Mycenaean spiral is here preserved intact.
6 Greenish clay, with light brown decoration. Combination of zigzags and Mycenaean flower
branch (cf. Wide, loc. cit. p. 242, fig. 12 «). Fragments with this combination were very numerous.
106 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
7. Light brown clay, with polished surface. Lustrous brown glaze on interior.
Tills fragment is extremely curious, since beside the zigzags it has the eye, nose, and hair of a
human face with a rosette beneath. A similar instance is unknown to me.
8. From large vase, probably an amphora. Dark yellow clay, with decoration varying from
greenish brown to black.
9. From rim of amphora. Gi-eenish clay.
10. From a large bowl. Brick red clay, with red glaze on interior. Red decoration faded.
Rosette and zigzags.
Fragments similar to 8 and 10 were very numerous (certainly a basket full) and seem to con-
stitute the earliest essays in the Geometric style proper. While the clay is coarse, it has been covered
with a whitish slip (as in Mycenaean vases) and the decoration applied rather thinly without any
lustre. Some of the fragments had a dark brown glaze on the interior, which, together with their
size, seems to show that they belong to amphoras or bowls. Outside of the Heraeum this ware is
not common ; the nearest approach seems to be a variety found at Syracuse. On none of these
fragments was any decoration found which included the human or animal figure, the established
scheme being straight lines and zigzags. In fact, on Argive Geometric vases the use of the zigzag
seems to be carried to a far greater extent than in Attic work.
Besides the motives already mentioned, we find wavy lines (for rim and shoulder), rays,
rosettes, lozenges (entirely black), and a single zigzag Une used exclusively on the rims
of bowls.
Further, we may mention a number of fragments (chiefly handles and necks) which
seemed to belong to amphoras similar to those in Jahrbiich, XV. (1900), p. 51, fig. 107,
the only decoration being a wavy band on the neck and stripes on the body and handles.
These fragments evidently belong to Class I.
CLASS II.
PURELY GEOMETRICAL TYPES.
Fragments with purely Geometrical ornamentation foimed the bulk of this style at the
Heraeum. The vases are almost entirely covered with a brown glaze (in the case of
bowls the glaze is also used on the interior), with a series of parallel bands running
round the body, which in many cases formed the sole decoration. The principal mo-
tives are placed on the shoulder, neck, or rim, and consist generally of a meander pattern
arranged singly or in series. These meanders are formed by single lines, or by double
lines with a series of short parallel cross-lines, straight or diagonal, between them, which
give the effect of shading. In some cases the cross-lines are omitted. Other motives
are : —
Zigzags, singly or in series. These are either drawn in a single line or else double, with a
shading of cross-lines as in the meander patterns.
Checkerboards. These are treated in a variety of ways. The simplest form is a series of
squares, alternately black and plain (i. e. the natural color of the clay). Variety is secured by the
insertion of a lozenge into the plain squares, or else shading the black squares by a network of
lines.
Hays. Generally in series around the base or rim. These are either in outline, black, or of
interlaced lines. In some cases the rays are drawn in double outline, with a row of dots between
the lines.
Wave pattern. Generally a single broad line, sometimes with the addition of a dotted row on
each edge. This, an original Mycenaean motive, eventually develops into the Geometric snake.
Lozenges. In their most elementary form as a rhomboid, such as is found on Mycenaean vases
of the fourth class. Generally in the Geometric style we find them in chain, with or without a
THE GEOMETRIC STYLE: HUMAN FIGURES 107
central dot. Owing to carelessness or hasty teclinique the chain often resembles a series of
ovals.
Net pattern. In many cases this is notliing but a lozenge chain in paraUel lines, the whole
giving the motive its net-like appearance.
Circles. Generally two or more concentric circles, with a central dot, singly or in series, some-
times connected, sometimes not.
Kosettea or stars. GeneraUy treated in series, either as an independent band or el.se as a border
to the wave pattern. Cases occur, especially in plates, where the rim is surrounded by a border
of leaf or flower petals, with a sliading of lines.
Pot-hooks. As in early Attic work.
" Running Dog." Generally used on the rims of bowls.
Gnilloches. Generally on the base of a vessel with a tall foot.
Swastikas. As ornaments in field.
Dotted lines. Used as a variation of the plain circular band.
Since none of these motives are new in the Geometric style, and as no peculiar combi-
nations of them occur on our fragments, none are given in our plates. All these motives
may be found on vases where " animal " motives are introduced ; at the same time a
large number of fragments show clearly that this animal decoration does not occur on a
great part of the vases.
As practically none of the vases are preserved intact, any list of the various forms
found must be incomplete. Roughly speaking, the following shapes were represented by
fragments : —
Amphoras. One-handled jugs (^oinochoai).
Bowls (skyphoi). Plates.
Bowls with a tall foot. Cups with one handle.
The rarer forms will be discussed later when dealing with their fragments.
CLASS III.
THE INTRODUCTION OF HUMAN AND ANIMAL MOTIVES.
The third class of the Geometric style is by far the largest, not only at the Heraeum,
but in almost all the other places in Greece where the style is found. The introduction
of the human or animal figure must have taken place at an early period, though hardly
at the very beginning of the style. It is true that we find these figures in the fourth
class of the Mycenaean style, but their treatment differs materially from that usual in
the Geometric period. Moreover, the Geometric types which are certainly the oldest,
such as the transitional types found on the islands (cf. Wide, loc. eit.) and those more
recently discovered in Attica and Corinth, exhibit pure Geometric decoration, with no
traces of a human or animal motive. At the same time, no great chronological distinc-
tion can be demanded between Classes II. and III. of the Heraeum fragments, since the
scheme of ornamentation, except for the introduction of human or animal figures, is
practically the same in both.
The variations of the different motives in Class III. are numerous, but their develop-
ment seems fairly clear. We find two distinct groups.
1. Where the motive is treated simply with few, if any, ornaments in the field.
2. Elaborate' treatment of the motive and wealth of ornaments in the field.
By all general laws of art, fragments in the second division are younger than those in
the first, since the horror vacui, as exemplified by other styles, is the result of a realiza-
108 THK VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
tion of the fiuulamentol principles of art, without the abihty to attain the end desired.
Exceptions may be found, since some fragments show a decided lack of ornaments in the
Held combined with a technique extremely advanced, but such fragments are not so com-
mon as to warrant the reversal of our order. We must either assume that they are
exceptions to the rule or else that they are merely advanced specimens of the first
division, contemporaneous with the second, but still, through conventionality of taste,
adhering to the earlier prmciples.
The choice of subjects in both divisions is the same. While the greater part of the
vase is occupied by purely Geometrical decoration, the key-note of the ornamentation con-
sists of one of the following types : —
A. Birds.
a. In friezes (water birds).
b. As the principal subject, singly or in groups.
£. Horses,
a. Singly or in frieze.
h. " Heraldic " scheme.
C. Men.
a. In frieze.
b. " Heraldic"" scheme.
r. " Genre " scenes (hunting, rowing, fighting, etc.).
D. Women,
a. In frieze.
E. Miscellaneous.
Deer, dogs, and other animals, usually in frieze, but often introduced as ornaments in field.
A. Birds.
The bird as a motive of decoration is not only the most common one in the Geometric
style, but there is good reason for assuming it to be the earliest of the motives included
in Class III. It is found on many fragments which through their primitive technique
appear to belong to the earlier period of the style, where the other animal motives are
wanting. We find it as a common feature on Mycenaean vases of Class IV., though
ti'eated in a different fashion, showing that the motive is not original in the Geometric
style. But as the smiilarity between the earliest type of the water bird frieze in the Geo-
metric style and the band of vertical zigzags common on the rims of Mycenaean bowls
is so marked, there is reason for supposing that while the bird itself was borrowed
directly from the Mycenaean fourth class, its arrangement in a frieze was suggested by
the use of the zigzag band.
Fragments having this water bird motive were extremely nimierous, belonging to the
rims of small bowls around which ran a frieze of birds.' The earliest examples are mere
zigzag lines, the later more elaborate, the figure of the bird being shaded by cross-lines,
and the head and beak more sharply defined. Ornaments in field are then introduced,
principally dots, rosettes, and zigzags. Soon after the introduction of the frieze the bird
itself becomes the real subject of decoration, but rapidly 2)asses to the position of an

try and itlentify them with any particular species. As some have a tuft of feathers at
the back of the head, they may perhaps represent cranes or herons.
PLATE LVI.
a.
11. Rim of bowl ; black glaze on interior.
This is the commonest type of the frieze, and was found in very large quantities at the Heraeum.
The tyj)e is too common to cite any further examples.
12. Rim of bowl ; dark brown glaze on interior. Treatment of bird more elaborate, the body
being shaded by cross-lines, zigzags in field.
13. From large bowl with dark brown decoration on interior. Brown decoration rather faded.
Stars in field ; above zigzag band and meander.
The birds are shaded as in 12, the tails sharply defined. It is noteworthy tliat the birds are
alternately large and small,i a feature I have not observed elsewhere. The use of the star as an
ornament in field is by no means usual.
14. Birds treated rather freely. Checker square in field.
15. The birds are here represented with heads down, feeding ; this type, though by no means
rare, is not as common as the type that is represented by 11-13.
b.
In Group b the water bird becomes the chief feature and is generally treated in a
simple fashion, the bird standing alone in the centre of a panel formed by vertical and
horizontal lines. A transitional type from a was observed in the case of several frag-
ments from the neck of a large vase (probably an amphora) where a row of birds was
represented, each one separated from the other by two patterns, one consisting of two
upright lines with horizontal lines between and the other a vertical guilloche treated as a
silhouette. The techniipie was poor and the birds drawn as silliouettes without any
shading. Other cases were observed where the panel was bounded by rows of horizontal
zigzags one above the other.
16. From a bowl about 17 cm. in diameter ; height cannot be determined. Dark red clay.
Bi-illiant black glaze on interior, black decoration. Several other fragments found.
The bowl seems to have been divided into four panels, the intervening spaces being filled by a
meander pattern (not visible on 16). The birds are treated as silhouettes. The ornament in
field is a common one in this style.
17. From a large vase. Brick red clay, with decoration varying from black to brown. The
birds are more elaborately treated with stars as ornaments in field (cf. No. 14). From several
other fragments belonging to the same vase it seems probable that the birds were the principal
theme, the rest of the vase being ornamented with purely Geometrical motives.
The ornaments in the field on most of the fragments of type b are lozenges, zigzags,
concentric circles, stars, etc. The treatment of the water bird as an ornament in the
field will be discussed later.
B. Horses.
One of the most characteristic features of the Geometric style is the fondness for
representing horses, either singly, in pairs ("Heraldic" scheme), or attached to a wagon.
The horse in Greek art was a well known feature before this period ; one recalls the
grave stelae, and the sword blade from Mycenae. Also on Mycenaean vases of the
fourth class the horse may be found, although not so often as to assume that the animal

arranged in a panel, and not, as here, in a frieze.

was a great favorite with the Mycenaean potters. To account for its popiihirity during
the Geometric period is difficult. From the Homeric poems we know what a part was
played hy it in tlie Mycenaean civilization, so that we cannot assume a sudden increase of
popularity for it during the later period. The chief point of difference lies in the fact
that during the Mycenaean period the horse is always used as a yoke-animal, never as a
beast of burden. In the Geometric period we find frequent representations of the horse
as a mount as well as a beast of burden. A very superficial study of the Mycenaean vases
shows that the drawing of animals was more or less tentative, with rather unsatisfactory
results. Of course the Vaphio cups show that it was possible for the Mycenaean artists to
reproduce animals with wonderful accuracy, but then the toreutic art of the Mycenaean
period is far in advance of that of the vase painter. Hence we can only assume that an
increase of skill in drawmg on the part of the vase painters was responsible for so many
representations of horses on Geometric vases. Being a common factor in the life of the
period, it could not be ignored. But it is certain that the horse did not become popular
until the Geometric style was firmly estabUshed, since it is not found on the earliest vases
of the style.
a
18. From rim of large bowl. Dark red clay, with brown glaze on interior. Head and rear part
of two horses. On the inside, below the rim, a band of vertical and horizontal lines crossing each
other at right angles. No ornaments in field.
Numerous other fragments having a single horse, or a band of them, were found, but
all in bad condition, showing in most cases only the head or hind-quarters of the animal.
19. Part of the foot of a large bowl. Red clay, with darker core, lustrous black and brown
decoration. Frieze of horses, with rays, stars, swastikas, etc., as ornaments in field. Below, two
zigzag bands (shaded). Separated by a moulding appears what may be another similar frieze.
Though the shape of the base cannot be determined, it is probably a large bowl mounted on a
tall foot, somewhat similar in character to one in Athens {Jahrh. XIV. [1899], p. 81, fig. 37), but
with a taller foot.
The majority of the fragments with a frieze of horses had a wealth of ornaments in
the field. The type of horse was generally the same in all, the only difference lying in
the quality of the execution. One fragment (without ornaments in the field) showed a
frieze of horses grazing.
20. Greenish clay, with dark brown decoration. Horse in panel. Duck, meander, swastikas,
and zigzags as ornaments in field. Above, zigzag band (shaded).
The treatment of the horse by itself in a panel is not as common as in the case of the
birds. Only a few other similar fragments were found. The bird is here used as an
ornament in the field. Whether the zigzag which falls from the bird's beak is intended
to represent a worm is uncertain. It is of frequent occurrence, not only on the Heraeum
fragments but on Geometrical vases found elsewhere.
b.
The representation of two horses facing each other in the so-called " Heraldic " '
scheme is of common occurrence on vases of this style. The symmetrical arrangement
of motives in this same scheme was a characteristic of the Mycenaean fourth class. The
usual arrangement called for the figure of a man between the two horses ; however, it is

THE GEOMETRIC STYLE: HORSES AND MEN 111
certain from other fragments belonging to the same vases as 21 and 22 that the space
between the liorses was occupied by ornaments in the field, and fragments from other
vases show this same peculiarity.
As the treatment of the horse is that peculiar to the style, no further comment is neces-
sary. Only a very few fragments showed a lack of ornaments in the field ; the greater
part have a very elaborate series of ornaments, with many variations. In each panel
(the group is almost invariably in panel form) five spaces may be found, two above and
two below the bodies of the horses, and one between them. The filling of the latter
space by a human figure will be discussed later. The most usual ornament in the spaces
above the bodies is a simple meander or zigzag, sometimes combined. Besides these we
find rosettes, lozenges, squares, crosses, circles, etc., in fact, all the common Geometric
themes. Water birds are occasionally introduced, singly or in a row.
The space beneath each body is usually occupied by a fish or a water bird ; the other
Geometric motives are often used, but by no means with the same frequency. In case
the space to be filled is a very large one, half meanders, crosses, rosettes, etc., are em-
ployed as filling around the body of the fish or bird.
21. Reddish clay, with red brown decoration. Noticeable is the object beneath the horse's belly,
a shaded half circle with lozenge chain. Several other fragments of this vase were found.
22. Coarse greenish clay, with greenish brown glaze on interior, and brown decoration. Row of
water birds above on a dotted meander. Between the hind legs a water bird, between the fore
legs a vertical " Running Dog " pattern. Beneath the belly a square containing a rosette. Sev-
eral other fragments of this vase were found.
C. Men.
Although the human figure is introduced into Mycenaean vase-painting, its use there
is not very common. As the earliest examples of Geometric vases do not employ it, there
is good reason to believe that not until the later period of the style was its use at all
universal. Once introduced, however, its development was rapid, and in the latest
examples of Geometric ware we find the human figure as the chief motive of decoration.
Among the Heraeum fragments this motive plays a large part. At the time of its
introduction the use of ornaments in the field seems to be firmly established, and frag-
ments with human figures, but without ornaments in the field, are rather scarce. Such
cases as do occur are marked by an advanced technique, which forbids their belonging to
the earlier period of the style.
a.
Whether the introduction of the human figure in the " Heraldic " scheme between two
horses is earlier than in the frieze cannot be told. The former is by far the more com-
mon, and on the Heraeum fragments is the most usual motive. The general type is
always the same : a nude male figure, in profile, holding a horse with each hand,' either
by a halter, or else grasping the horse's nose. Such variations as occur lie in the dif-
ferent ornaments in the field and in the treatment of the man and horse — either less
or more advanced.
PLATE LVII.
1. Light reddish clay, with decoration in light brown. This is probably one of the earliest
instances of the type, the figures being hardly more than a series of straight lines such as a child
might draw.
2. From a large vase. Dark red clay, with brilliant dark red decoration. Here the hips and

112 THE VASES AND VASE FKAGxMENTS
legs of the man are treated more naturally, and the distinction between the nose and chin sharply
emphasized.
3. Clay and technique similar to Plate LVI. 19, but rather more advanced in style. The legs
are here extended beyond their natural length, and the calf is sharply marked. Meanders as
ornaments in field.
4. From a very large vase, perhaps an amphora. Reddish clay, with dark red decoration. At
least a dozen other fragments belonging to this vase were found, showing that the horse and man
were treated in panels, and the rest of the vase ornamented in the usual Geometric fashion. Tlie
head of tlie man has a very curious headdress, and the neck riiliculously lengthened. Such exag-
geration is not common. Fish as ornament in field.
It sometimes occurs that a man and one horse are represented in a panel, the man
leading the animal. As such cases generally have a corresponding group on the other
side of the lines bounding the panel, it cannot well be called a (jenre scene, although
the " Heraldic " idea does not appear so prominently.
5. Reddish yellow clay, with dark brown decoration. Here a distinct profile is given to the
man. For the object in his left hand, which may be a staff, I know of no parallel instance on
Geometric vases.
6. From a bowl ; reddish clay, with dark red glaze on interior, red decoi-ation, fairly lustrous.
Rim sharply separated from the shoulder. Wave pattern on rim.
In spite of the extremely archaic appearance of tiiis fragment we cannot but assign it to the
later period. Tlie eye of the figure is clearly defined, and an attempt is also made to show the
fingers. It is vmcertain whetiier the object in the figure's left hand is a whip or a halter.
b.
The use of the male figure treated singly or in a frieze is not as common on the
Heraeum fragments as on the Dipylon vases.
7. Rim of bowl. Dark red clay, with lustrous dark led glaze on interior. Clay shows traces of
burning. Frieze of men to right ; the right-hand figure holds a kithara in his hands.
That the object in question is really a kithara ' would seem certain. That held by the terra-
cotta figurines from Keros (^Athen. Mitt. IX. p. 156, pi. vi.), which is thought by Koehler to be
the sambuka, is jirobably the earliest instance of a lyre in Greek art. This fragment, however,
would seem to show one of the earliest instances of a lyre in vase painting.
Friezes of men, especially on the rims of bowls, were quite common at the Heraeum,
and were found on numerous other fragments.
Another type, though found on but a few fragments, in bad preservation, is a frieze
of warriors, the shield^ covering the entire body, and the two spears projecting diagonally
upwards from the shield on each side of the head.
8. Rim of bowl ; greenish clay, with black decoration. The figure undoubtedly formed part of
a frieze.
This fragment is probably one of the later essays ; the nose and chin are siiarply defined, and
the eye is incised. The body seems to be covered with a cloak.
9. Reddish yellow clay, with lustrous brown red decoration. Bodies of two men joined together ;
double axe and stars in field.
At first sight it would appear that the artist had tried to represent some monster of the Geryon

fig. 61). Several had only the upper part of the shield

type. The most probable explanation is that two figures, one behind the other, were represented,
and that tiie artist, having no knowledge of perspective, got decidedly mixed in his drawing. The
double axe is quite a common ornament in field, but whether tliere is any connection between this
ornament and the Labyrinth in Cnossus (the house of the Double-axe, according to Evans) is
decidedly problematical.
c.
Fragments representing rjmre scenes at the Heraeum were comparatively scarce. As
a rule the technique of such fragments is slightly better than the average. That such
should be the case is not surprising, since in a style like the Geometric the introduction
of (jenre scenes would come only after the treatment of the ordinary motives had been
thoroughly developed and some new treatment was demanded.
10. From a large bowl ; reddish clay, with lustrous dark brown decoration on interior ; decora-
tion a brilliant brown.
A battle scene is evidently represented. The central warrior is preparing to shoot an arrow,
and it may be presumed that the other two figures are about to do the same. At the right of the
fragment is the foot of a fourth warrior. On the left an arrow as an ornament in field.
The treatment of the bow is precisely identical with that on the fragment of the silver
vase from Grave IV. at Mycenae (Tsountas, 'E(f>r}ix. 'Ap)(. 1891, p. 19, pi. ii. 2), and
the Mycenaean sword blade from the same grave {B. C H. 1886, pi. ii. 3, 4). This
would show that during the Geometric period the same bows were employed as in the
Mycenaean epoch. A comparison of the figures on the large Dipylon vase in Athens
{Mon. delV Inst. IX. pis. 39, 40) shows that the arrow which seems to pierce the figure
with the bow is supposed to be girded to the side ' in heu of a quiver.
11. Reddish clay, with lustrous red brown glaze on interior. Lustrous black decoration.
That a boxing match over a tripod as the prize of the contest is represented is the most prob-
able explanation. At first sight it would appear that the left-hand figure is holding out some
object to the other, but a closer examination shows that the object in question is really the figure's
arm (since the fingers are denoted) very badly drawn. Similar contests are rare on Geometric
vases. Cf. the bowl in Copenhagen (^Arch. Zeit. 1885, pi. 8, 2), where a similar contest without
the tripod is represented. (This fragment has already been published by Laurent, B. C. H. 1901,
p. 150, fig. 3.)
12. Reddish clay with red brown decoration. Man in chariot driving. As three tails are vis-
ible, it seems probable that a quadriga was represented. Two other fragments showed the same
scene, but not enough of the chariot to draw any conclusion as to its form.
13. Brick red clay, with brilliant black glaze on interior, black decoration. On the right the
upper part of some animal ; in centre, a man about to shoot an arrow (as in 10) ; and on the left
the prow of a boat, with the back of one of the rowers. Fishes as ornaments in field near the boat.
This fragment, as far as technique is concerned, belongs to a class which will be considered
later. It is the only fragment found at the Heraeum on which a ship ^ was represented. The
treatment of the boat, however, differs materially from the usual boats found on vases of this
period. Only a portion of the bow is preserved, but it is plain that the stem of the vessel did not
end in a sharp point, as in the modern ram, but was shorter and blunter. Also, the line of the
bulwark curves backward instead of directly towards the bow. (Cf. Rayet et Coll. Hisl. p. 29,
fig. 20 ; Baumeister's Benkm. p. 1597. fig. 1658.)
No other fragments which could properly be uicluded under the head of genre scenes
were found.
1 Whether this is a sword is extremely doubtful. XVII. (1892), p. 285 ff. The prow of the galley on one

114 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Z>. Women.
The female figure is treated in but one way on the Heraeura frag-ments — as part of a
row of similar figures in a frieze. Though numerous fragments were found containing each
a single figure, it is probable that such figures are only part of the regular row. All the
figures followed the sjime type, and varied only in a few minor details. They are draped
(no instance of an undraped figure, as on the Dipylon vase in Athens, already referred
to, was found), and held a branch in their hands. From the waist to the feet outside of
the garment are di-awn one, two, or three parallel lines. No satisfactory explanation of
these Unes is forthcoming; they are not always used on Attic work, but on the Heraeum
fragments no female figure is represented without them.
14. From a small jug. Dark yellow clay, with dark brown decoration. The surface of the clay
has been dented in a rather curious way, perhaps intentionally.
It is uncertain whether the two figures here are inclosed in separate panels, or whether the ver-
tical lines separate two friezes ; the latter is more probable. This is one of the earliest fragments
on which the female figure occurs.
15. Dark yellow clay, with black decoration. The heads are here seen en face, the hair forming
a large bunch on either side of the face.
16. Similar clay and decoration. Heads are in profile, the nose and chin sharply defined. Cf.
fragment in museum at Argos (Jahrh. XIV. [1899], p. 86, fig. 45).
In 14-16 the figures are treated entirely as silhouettes. We now find a series of fragments in
which a pattern of squares or lozenges is marked on the skirt of the dress.
17. From a large bowl about 31 cm. in diameter. Dark red cla}', with lustrous black decora-
tion, burnt dark red in places. Inside the rim, series of four narrow and two broad parallel bands,
the upper bands separated at intervals by vertical lines.
On rim, in centre a male figure jumping, behind him a water bird and lower part of a male and
female figure ; to right, five female figures carrying branches, and traces of a sixth. Below,
meander pattern. Lozenges, stvastikas, and rays as ornaments in field.
That a dance is represented here seems probable. It is certain that two rows of women were
represented, that on the left led by a man. The ancient form of dancing is paralleled by the dances
in modern Greece, where a row of women join hands with a man at the head. The jumping figure
(cf. similar figure on the Copenhagen vase) and the water bird are probably used as ornaments in
field to divide the two groups. The women have the usual series of tails, with a lozenge pattern
on the skirt. The row ends at the side in a symmetrical fashion, as the left-hand figure of the row
holds in her right hand an inverted branch ; and on the extreme left of the fragment the lower part
of a similar branch may be detected. It is probable that the man leading the left-hand group also
held a branch in his hand, as in 19. The treatment of the water bird is curious, a circular space
in the body being filled by a swastika.
18. Dark gray clay, with brown decoration. Double lozenge pattern on the skirt. The eyes of
the figure are denoted. The right-hand figure is probably the end of the group, as she does not
hold a branch in her left hand.
19. Dark gray clay, with black decoration. Inside, lustrous black band. Checkerboard pat-
tern on skirt. As in 17 the row of women is led by a man who, together with the woman, holds
the usual upright branch, with the addition of the inverted branch in the woman's hand.
20. Dark gray clay, showing traces of fire. Black decoration and black glaze on interior.
Dotted square pattern on skirt. It is doubtful if any tail is indicated. The object to the right
seems to be the fore legs of a horse.
21. Red clay, with black decoration. The skirt is very thin at the waist, and flares sharply
outwards like a bell. Two tails are indicated.
THE GEOMETRIC STYLE: MISCELLANEOUS TYPES 115
E. Miscellaneous.
Besides the animals already mentioned, we find others (generally deer) which are in-
variably treated in two ways — either as ornaments in the field, or else as a subordinate
frieze. In many of the friezes, horses, birds, deer, etc., are combined.
22. From a large vase. Dark red clay, with lustrous red brown decoration ; on interior, lustrous
dark brown glaze. Frieze of deer to right, with zigzags as ornaments in field. Above, meander
pattern.
As horses in the Geometric style invariably have long tails, it is certain that these are not
horses. To represent the animals looking over their shoulder is the usual type. Variations occur
where the four legs of the animals are bent sharply under the belly. (Cf. Copenhagen vase.)
23. Dark red clay, with brilliant red glaze on interior, decoration in dark brown. Horse and
deer.
The deer is treated here as an ornament in field. It might be considered to be a foal, but the
short tail is rather against such an assumption.
24. Light reddish clay, with black decoration. Lizard ^ or scorpion as ornament in field. What
the other object represents is doubtful.
25. Light gray clay, with black glaze inside. Fishes and water bird. Whether this fragment
belongs to a plate or the bottom of a shallow bowl is doubtful.
The animal on Plate LVII. 13 may be a panther. No case of a dog occurs on any
of the Heraeum Geometric fragments.
othj;r miscellaneous types.
The common origin of all the fragments previously considered seems fairly certain.
A small number of fragments were found which seem to^orm a class by themselves, and
are much more closely related to pure Dipylon ware, being of a finer, cleaner clay, and
with a decoration more lustrous and careful than the preceding fragments. It is pos-
sible that they may be simply examples of the best Geometric technique at the Heraeum
rather than Attic importations. But beyond emphasizing the difference which exists
between them and the other Geometric ware at the Heraeum, I do not venture actually
to attribute to them an Attic origin.
All these fragments show a use of purely Geometric motives, the human or animal
figure occurring but seldom. What period to assign them to is hard to say ; on techni-
cal grounds they seem of later manufacture, but from theu- style and a comparison of
ware recently found in Attica they seem to belong to the earlier period. To this class
belongs the fragment with the boat, Plate LVII. 13.
PLATE LVIII.
1. From rim of bowl. Reddish clay, with lustrous black decoration, brilliant black glaze on
interior. Rim ends in a moulding, and the line between rim and shoulder is sharply defined. Me-
ander pattern. On each corner a dotted circle. Several other fragments of this vase were found.
2. Brick red clay, with red brown decoration ; glaze on interior varying from black to red.
Usual Geometric decoration. Several other fragments of this vase were found.
3. Cover. Reddish yellow clay, with brilliant black decoration. Probably belonged to a vase
similar to one in Herakleion in Crete (Jahrb. XIV. [1809], p. 37, fig. 15).
4. Dark red clay, with very brilliant black decoration, burnt red in places. Lower part of water
bird frieze.
Several other fragments from different vases of exactly similar technique were found. Tlie con-
trast between the red and black is so conspicuous as to appear intentional.
1 Cf. Jahrb. XIV. (1899), p. 84, fig. 42.
IIG THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
5. From rim of small bowl. Yellow clay, with Llack decoration, and black glaze on interior.
Technically this fragment was one of the finest of this style found at the Heraeum.
6. Base of a pithos-shaped vase of light red clay. The shape is unusual. One exactly similar
has recently been found in Attica.
The fragments and vases which now follow, which belong to the regular Cieometric types already
discussed, present certain peculiarities which demand a separate consideration of them.
7. From the support of a large vessel. Dark red clay, with red brown decoration. Horse and
double axe.
This fragment seems rather more Boeotian in treatment, though the clay lacks the white stones
characteristic of Boeotian ware.' The horse varies from the usual type, as the mane is composed
of wavy streaks which are drawn down to meet the neck and occasionally do not touch the neck
at all. As several other fragments exactly similar in technique were found, it is clear that 7
formed the support of some vessel, probably divided into legs, as on several of the fragments
the edge of the leg was sharply defined. Two other fragments which may belong to the same
support were legs, with two broad diagonal lines drawn from each corner crossing each other in
the centre.
8 a and b. Two fragments of a cover ; diameter, 0.376 m. ; height, 0.038 m. Dark gray clay,
with black decoration. In the centre a large wheel with a deer ; in the vacant spaces, the whole
bounded by lines, lozenge chain and zigzags. On the side an ada])tatiou of the "■ Running Dog "
pattern, the ends connected together, and triangles as ornaments in field. As no decoration or
glaze exists on the interior, it seems certain that it was a cover. Covers as large as this in the
Geometric style are unknown to me.
9. Tray. Length, 0.18 m. ; width, 0.11 m. Brownish clay, with the inside entirely covered
with a reddish brown glaze. The decoration is placed on the outside, and consists of zigzags on the
sides and water bird friezes on the bottom, separated by zigzag sand lozenge chains. Missing por-
tions restored in plaster.
10. From similar plate ; handle.
11. From similar plate ; corner.
9-11 are the most important examples of about twenty fragments which belonged to
trays or plates of precisely the same form and design. They are slightly narrower at
one end (the restoration of 9 is not quite exact) and are provided with a handle at each
end. Several fragments showed a meander pattern at the base.
Their principal interest lies in the fact that very similar trays have been found
at Aegina and nowhere else." At Aegina, however, all the trays found were reefcmgular,
and did not show a different diameter at either end. As the microscopical analysis of
these trays (cf. p. 65, note) made by Dr. Washington shows the presence of augite,
which was found in the trays from Aegina, and is a characteristic feature of the island, it
would seem fairly certain that these particular trays were imported from Aegina. If
this be true, in these trays we have the only authentic instance of an importation from
Aegina into Argos, since, according to Dr. Washington, all the Geometric fragments
from Aegina which were examined by him are identical A\4th those from the Heraeum,
and show none of the distinctive features of the island. Moreover, they would seem to
be the only instance of a local fabric in Aegina, which until now has not been demon-
strated. (Cf. Loeschcke, Athen. Mitt. XXII. [1897], pp. 259-264.) They furnish, at any
rate, a conclusive proof as to the i-elation between the two states, which we have already
assumed to exist (cf. p. 64). I do not, however, agree with Stais in assigning them to
the end of the seventh or the beginning of the sixth century ; from a comparison with
the other fragments of the Argive and Geometric styles found at the Heraeum, they
seem to my mind at least a century earlier.

THE GEOMETRIC STYLE: AMPHORA 117
12 a and b. Two fragments of a pinax. Greenish yellow clay, with brown decoration faded
a. Length, 0.10 m. ; width, 0.085 m.
b. Length, 0.62 m. ; width, 0.10 m.
The design, as far as it can be restored, consists of two female figures bounded by four elliptical
bands, and the usual Geometric ornaments in field ; outside of the ellipse a row of water birds.
The dimensions of the pinax cannot be estimated.
13. Similar clay and technique. Undoubtedly belonged to a pinax whose ends were slightly

The difference between this scale and that of

There still remain to be considered a
few vases which are either intact or else in
such condition as to make their form cer-
tain.

ameter of opening, 0.235 m. Part of neck, one
handle, and various parts of the body supplied

On edge of rim, zigzag band ; on neck, verti-
cal and horizontal series of zigzags bounding a
panel of interlacing lozenges with a black cen-
tre. Below, narrow band of vertical zigzags and
double crosses. Handles in fine plastic bands.
Below each handle a lozenge.
A. Horse and rider to right. The rider
(bearded, with three strokes to denote his hair)
clad in a short chiton, which seems to be
tucked up around his waist, holds in his left
hand the leading rein and in his right hand a
whip ; chiton ornamented with vertical lines.
The horse is more carefully drawn than usual, with the eye clearly defined. No signs of a mane
can be detected. On either side of the horse, a fish with a single vertical meander along the body.
B. Exactly the same, save that the horse has no rider.
On base, single meander pattern.
This amphora was the only large Geometric vase the Heraeum yielded which could be
restored almost entire. That it is one of the latest examples of the style .seems proba-
ble, since the body is not entirely covered with decoration and the horse is represented
as a beast of burden, not as in the earlier types attached to a chariot or in the usual •' Her-
aldic " scheme.
A jug was also found intact, 10 cm. in height, of precisely the same shape as Jahrh.

Several other fragments found, one of which showed that the sides were arranged in panels con-
taining two horses and man in the " Heraldic " scheme.
Handle in centre, mouldings with dots half way between
handles and edges.
To assign this vase to its proiier place is not easy. It is
almost identical in shape with Aim. delV Inst. 1881, tav.
d' agg. K. 1 and 2, except for the lack of handles. These
are said to have been found on a similar vase from Chiusi
(v. Bull. delV Inst. 1884, p. 178, 179). But no trace
whatsoever of a partition dividing the vase inside into two
cups can be found, so that it is impossible that it shoidd
have been used in the same fashion as the Italian vases.
(For discussion of their use, see Helbig, Das Ilomerischc
Epos"^, p. 361.) Nor is there any reason to suppose that
would be needed on any support handles of a vase.
Fragments representing such supports (cf. Plate LVIII.
Fig- 43. 7) ^gre found.
About two hundred or more fragments belonging to one vase were found. This was
evidently an amphora similar in shape to the large Dipylon vases in Athens/ of a light
reddish clay, burnt in places, and must have measured nearly one and a half meter in
height. No reconstruction of the vase was possible, and the foot could not be found.
The vase was entirely covered with ornamentation, that on the body consisting of a series
of large wheels," arranged vertically and horizontally, separated by panels containing the
usual " Heraldic " motives. Panels again were arranged on the shoulder, and the neck
covered for the most part with zigzag and meander patterns. All fragments showed the
usual Geometric types.
In conclusion it remains to enumerate briefly some of the forms of vases not mentioned
before, which from the evidence of various fragments must have existed at the Heraeum.
The forms are taken fi-om Wide's articles in the Jahrbuch for 1899 and 1900.

it is impossible to state whether all the combinations illustrated in Wide's article were
found.

THE ARGIVE STYLE 119
CHAPTER IV.
THE ARGIVE STYLE.
The Argive (so-called Proto-Corinthian) style is not only the most characteristic vase
fabric at the Heraeum, but the one best represented by entire vases as well as frag-
ments, and seems to have been the most popular style in the ArgoUd from this end of
the Mycenaean epoch down to the beginning of the Corinthian style, a period of perhaps
from three to four centuries.
The term " Proto-Corinthian," ' as is well known, was invented by Furtwiingler and
applied by him to certain vases, of which the small lekythoi with human and animal
figures as the chief scheme of decoration are the best examples. Furtwiingler never
intended this name as an exact designation, but used it to show that this class bore a
close relation to the Corinthian style which it preceded.
Since the invention of this term twenty years have elapsed, and in that time the niun-
ber of these vases has increased. Originally not more than half a dozen examples from
Thebes, Tanagra, or Corinth were known, but we now have numerous examples from
Attica, Aegina, Eleusis, Tiryns, Argos, Syracuse, Megara Hyblaea, Southern and North-
ern Italy. To the class identified by Furtwiingler has been added a series of vases the
decoration of which consists entirely of fine parallel lines encircling the body of the vase
and Geometric motives. At the same time the term " Proto-Corinthian," though univer-
sally adopted, has never been considered thoroughly satisfactory, and numerous attempts
have been made to discover the real provenience of the style ; none of the sites proposed
as the original home of the style (Chalcis," Corinth, Sicily, etc.) has yet been univer-
sally accepted. It has been generally believed that the style was the outcome of the
Geometric ware ' and originated about the middle of the eighth century.
It appears to me that the Argolid is the original home of this style, and I venture to
adopt a new system of classification and chronology, which differs materially from that
heretofore offered.* The conclusions about to be stated have been forced upon me after
a careful study of the Heraeum fragments, and while I am far from claiming them to be
the only possible ones, they form the basis for the whole of this chapter. Briefly, the
so-caUed Proto-Corinthian style is Argive in its origin, and a direct offshoot of the Myce-
naean style, being contemporaneous with the Geometric.
Prom the very beginning of the excavations, when it was seen how large a proportion
of the vase fragments was formed by this ware, in 1892 Professor Waldstein asserted
that it was really Argive. Since then Professors Furtwiingler ■"' and Loeschcke" have also
come to the same conclusion. The arguments in favor of its Argive origin are : —
(a) The quality of this ware found at the Heraeum.
(6) The steady development from the earlier periods, especially the Mycenaean.
(a) The style is found in greatest quantities outside of the Argolid, in the Necropole
del Fusco at Syracuse,' and at Megara Hyblaea,* and Orchomenos." The amount fur-

120 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
nislied by the three most important excavations in the ArgoHd, the Heraeum, Mycenae,
and Tiiyns, more than equals that of the rest of the Greek world, including the Sicilian
excavations. With such a vast amount found in the ArgoUd alone, it is extremely
improbable that any other state should have been the inventor, or that the importation
of the style should have taken place into a state Avhich during the Mycenaean period
had a flourishing vase industry of its own. Furthermore, as we have already pointed out,
so few types were found at the Heraeum which were clearly made outside of the Argolid,
that we must hesitate before calling any doubtful style a foreign importation. And as
the largest part of the ware found in the Argolid is furnished by the Heraeum, it is there
rather than at Mycenae that the origin of the style must be sought. In Aegina the
style shows the same development as at the Heraeum, but as no attempt has ever been
made to show that Aegina had a vase industry of her own,' and as we know that histori-
cal evidence points to a close connection between Argos and Aegina during the eighth
and seventh centuries, the vases of this style found at Aegina may well have been
imported from Argos.
(6) As far back as 1887, Diimmler ^ had pointed out the fact that fragments of this
style had been found at Aegina in the lowest levels along with Mycenaean fragments,
and the same is true at the Heraeum, though, as we have seen, the presence of definite
chronological levels was not observed. This would show clearly that some vases of the
style are as old as the Mycenaean period. Many fragments of this ware are found at
Aegina as well as at the Heraeum, which bear the strongest resemblance to the Myce-
naean style. Moreover, the steady development of the style from its beginning can be
better traced in the Argolid than in any other site, where the earliest examples are not to
be found. Therefore, as Aegina cannot really claim the origin of the style,^ the enor-
mous quantity of it found at the Heraeum, as well as the steady and complete develop-
ment, would make it reasonably probable that the style originated in the Argolid.
As stated in the Introduction, the all-pervading characteristic of the Argive style is,
as Professor Waldstein maintains, " Linear," pure and simple. We have already seen that
the Primitive and Mycenaean styles were Linear in their origin, and that the latter,
after passing through the pictorial stage when naturalism prevailed, returned in Class IV.
to the Linear principle again, which, as we know from the presence of the broad and
fine bands on the bodies of Mycenaean vases, was never entirely lost.
Practically, therefore, the earliest specimens of the Argive style are small vases, akin
in clay and technique to the Mycenaean style. The question here arises, whether such
vases forai a step beyond the Mycenaean style, or whether they are only the best illus-
trations of a continuous principle which originated in primitive times, and arrived at its
perfection at the end of the Mycenaean period. Professor Waldstein maintains * " that
the Proto-Corinthian development of the Argive-Linear is but the natural development
out of the linear decoration as found in Argive vases at the Heraeimi from the earliest
Primitive vases through the dull-colored vases and the Mycenaean periods. In the two
first periods (Primitive and Dull-colored) this linear decoration is in free-hand drawing,
sometimes with rudest implements and in awkward and grotesque uncertainty of toiuh.
This uncertainty corresponds to the ruder hand-made technique of the ceramist. The

of Mycenaean vases are the only vases known which ■' Cf. p. 6o, note.
were surely manufactured in the island ; v. Introduction, * The words in quotation marks are Professor ^A'ald-
p. 65, note. stein's.
THE ARGIVE STYLE: ORIGIN 121
greater accuracy and skill in this linear decoration naturally comes in when the ceramist
himself makes skillful use of the Avheel, and produces such fine specimens of the potter's
craft as are to be found with the rise of the Mycenaean lustrous vases. The parallel
lines ornamenting the lower portions of these are thus firm and accurate. At the same
time the feeling for ' free-hand ' drawing has not died out, and in its turn advances
with the progress of ceramic art during the Mycenaean period, so that when the feeling
and desire fen- naturalism grows, the decoration above the lines reaches a stage of per-
fection comparatively as high in technique in these lustrous vases as is the linear decora-
tion and the ceramic art in the shape and manufacture of the vase itself. In the larger
vases of the Mycenaean period the linear decoration is thus never entirely superseded ;
while in the smaller vases it still maintjiins its predominance through this and all early
periods. At the Heraeum, and we may say in the Argolid, the Linear principle of
decoration, which finds its highest and purest expression in the later Argive (Proto-
Corinthian) vases, had therefore never died out."
This theory of Professor Waldstein's I accept in part, and I agree with him that the
Linear principle was never quite discarded even in the best period of the Mycenaean style.
If it could be proved, as Professor Waldstein thinks, that from the Primitive times to
the close of the Mycenaean civilization a distinct class of vases exists, which, though show-
ing elements of Mycenaean decoration, have as their chief characteristic this same Linear
principle, I should see no objection to accepting his theory entirely. This class I have
not succeeded in finding, and I do not regard the various examples already quoted by
Professor Waldstein as establishing the existence of such a class beyond question. It is
true that there exists a large class of vases at the Heraeum, the date of which is not
absolutely fixed, which show only the Linear principle ; but whatever their date may be,
I do not consider them as earlier than the end of the Mycenaean period, nor do the few
scattered fragments with incised linear ornamentation, which may possibly belong to the
acme of that period (though that point is extremely doubtful), constitute to my mind a
distinct and unmistakable link between the Primitive times and the rise of the Argive
style. It is possible to regard these same small vases as the beginnings of the Argive
style, but only as the poorest examples of it. They show at least that they are the result
of a principle which filtered through the Mycenaean civilization, just as a river flows
through a lake, but which I, for my part, do not regard as a separate entity from Primi-
tive times. Hence the earliest class of the Argive ware is probably an offshoot of the
Mycenaean style. This class I shall call " Early Argive."
We have seen that some great movement (perhaps the Dorian invasion) in Greece
caused a revival of the various Geometric or primitive motives at a time when the My-
cenaean civihzation was dead or dying, but when the Argive style had begun. Under
the new influence the Argive style is quick to respond. Accordingly we find that as
the Geometric style flourishes, the Argive style borrows freely the Geometric motives, but
keeps them subordinate to its characteristic Linear principle of parallel bands as the main
decoration. This is the class " Linear Argive," which forms the bulk of the style at the
Heraeum and is widely represented in Sicily and Italy. The orchnary Geometric motives,
zigzags, meanders, squares, lozenges, etc., are the ones most commonly used, and as the
vases are generally of a small size, these motives are confined to the rims or shoulders,
seldom if ever used on the body of the vase.
That the spread of Oriental influence in Greece caused the decUne of the Geometric
style is universaUy admitted. In the Argolid we find the Geometric style ceasing almost
122 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
abruptly, while the Argive style becomes, as it were, emancipated. The reason is simply
that as this style was confined to smaller vases on which the Geometric motives played
a subordinate part, the introduction of orientalized animals and human figures, together
with the fuller development of ornaments in the field, did not necessarily interfere with its
Linear principle of encircling bands. Again, as it was the distinctive style of the Argolid,
and more popular than the Geometric, it was more easily influenced by the new ideas
from the east. On the other hand, it would seem as if no attemj)t was made by the
Argive potters to adapt the Geometric style to the new conditions, and hence it died
out. In Attica, however, as the Geometric style affords the chief and only ware, some
attempt had to be made to remodel the style to suit the new influence, or else to evolve a
completely different fabric ; accordingly we find the Dipylon style developing into the
Early Attic. It would seem probable that the Phaleron jugs which illustrate this devel-
opment were influenced in some way by the Argive style ; such a theory, however,
lacks actual confirmation.
We therefore find a third class of the Argive ware (Oriental Argive). It is to this
class that the lekythoi in Berlin, London, and the other museums belong, which caused
the invention of the term, " Proto-Corinthian." The period of its production probably
lies in the early part of the seventh century, and it cannot have lasted beyond the end of
that century, since the rise of the Corinthian and Early Attic styles probably supplanted
it; also, no fragments of the style have been found at Naucratis. Cf. Cecil Smith,
J. H. S. 1890, p. 176.
A difficult question is presented by the relation of Class III. to the Corinthian style.
That the latter is directly developed from Class III. I see no reason to doubt. Couve '
has recently denied such a connection absolutely, but as his arguments do not take the
Heraeum fragments into consideration, they carry less weight.
Previous to the excavations at the Heraeum and at Aegina, Class III. was mainly
represented by the small lekythoi already mentioned, but with the material from Aegina
and the Heraeum the class is seen to include numerous larger vases of various shapes,
the lekythoi being in the minority, so that any argument which bases the relation of the
Argive style to the Corinthian on the lekythoi alone possesses little value. It is true
that the lekythoi belonging to Class III., which show the most advanced technique, are
not found in the Argolid, but in Thebes and Corinth. The shape, however, is fairly
well represented at the Heraeum.
Now aU these lekythoi found outside of the Argolid seem to be a finished product ;
they are similar to the Corinthian vases, but vases which show the transitional stages
between Class III. and the Corinthian are wanting. Such connecting links, as far as I
know, are found only at Argos and Aegina, but the quantity of true Corinthian ware
found at both those sites is small compared to that found at Corinth or in other parts
of Greece. As Corinth is universally admitted to be the originator of the Corinthian
style, that point may be regarded as settled.
A survey of comparative history will help us here. We have seen that during the
Mycenaean epoch the Argolid was the great source for the bulk of Mycenaean pottery
found in Greece, just as Athens became the great producer of the Black and Red-Figure
styles in after years. At the time we are considering (the seventh century), Argos had
behind her centuries of skill in ceramic arts, with (presumably) a correspondingly large
commerce. Athens did not begin her commercial activity until the eighth century,
' Rev. Arch. 1898, p. 213.
THE ARGIVE STYLE: ORIGIN. 123
and Corinth, although beginning- at this time to figure as a commercial factor, had not
the previous years of industrial activity. If, then, the question arises as to which soil
the spread of Oriental influence in Greece found most recejjtive, antecedent probabihties
would certainly point to Argos. It would be most extraordinary to find such a finished
product as Class III. originating in Corinth ; as a matter of fact, the real difference
between Class III. and the Corinthian style is simply this — a new influence at work
upon skilled, as opposed to unskiUed labor.
Argos, then, originates Class III. Its wide range does not militate against such an
assumption ; while not all the vases of this class so common outside of Argos are
probably of Argive manufacture, still the bulk of them were most probably exported
from Argos. That they do not exist in very large quantities at Argos itself is no
proof to the contrary ; it may perfectly well have been the case that local taste preferred
the larger, finer vases, while the bidk of the smaller was exported. We know that
during the sixth and fifth centuries the bulk of Attic work was exported to Italy, and
were it not for the cemeteries of Chiiisi, Ruvo, Nola, etc., etc., our knowledge of Attic
pottery Avould be small indeed. At the same time it would have been perfectly pos-
sible for potters in Corinth, Thebes, Syracuse, and elsewhere to make copies of originals
imported from Argos.
Hence it is probable that the importation into Corinth of Argive vases gave the
inspiration to the Corinthian style. The ware evolved by Coruith was really a poor imi-
tation of the Argive, and, owing to a lack of technical experience, the former started
on a much lower plane than the latter. It is worthy of remark that as Class III. develops
at Argos it becomes more like the Corinthian, only much finer in technique. This is not
surprising, seeing that the external influence in both places was the same. The actual
points of similarity between fragments of Class III. and the Corinthian style will be dis-
cussed later.
The question of clay is important, but difficult to define in default of microscopic
investigation. In Class I. the clay is almost Mycenaean ; practically the only difference
is that the clay of Argive vases is lighter. The general treatment of glaze and decora-
tion varies somewhat from the Mycenaean, in that the surface is seldom polished, and
the paint less lustrous and applied less thickly. This is especially apparent in Class II.
Here, however, the general scheme of decoration has advanced beyond all similarity with
the Mycenaean. But though in the earlier classes the clay seems to be similar to that
of the Mycenaean vases, the greatest difference exists between it and that of the Geome-
tric vases, the Argive being of a different color (generally reddish), finer, cleaner, and
lighter. In fact, during the later period of the Argive style, the art of making light
vessels reaches its highest point ; in some cases the clay is almost as thin as a sheet of
very fine cardboard.
Owing to the smaller size of the vases the material is in much better preservation,
and in almost every case the exact form of the vase could be determined. Hence it has
been possible to evolve a classification based on the various forms. All through the
style three shapes are most prominent — lekythos (oinochoe), skyphos, and pyxis ; each
exhibits many variations, which will be discussed later.
The use of some color, red, white, yellow, etc., applied to the vase after the first firing,
is especially characteristic of the Argive style. As it is found in the Mycenaean and
Geometric styles as weU, its use will be discussed more thoroughly at the end of this
chapter.

THE VASES AND VASK FRAGMENTS

CLASS I.
EARLY ARGIVE.
We may include in this class many of the small jugs mentioned on pp. 99-101. Their
only decoration is encircling- bands with the occasional introduction of a Mycenaean
motive, and as they belong to the end of the Mycenaean period they represent virtually
the first stages of the Argive style. The forms used in this class are not very numerous ;
besides the jugs already mentioned we have examples of lekythoi, kalathoi, and small
saucers, all three akin to various Mycenaean forms. That so few shapes are to be found
is not surprising ; the new style being still an exjjeriment, potters would be likely to
begin with familiar shapes.
Lekythoi.
Only one form of the lekythos w<as noticed ; it is a one-handled jug of about the same form as
Myk. Vas. xliv. 63. It is, however, all through tlie Argive style one of
the most popular shapes, and one which was clearly taken from a Mycenaean
prototype.
Fig. 44. Height, 0.07 m. Southeast of Second Temple. Intact.
This lekythos is the most perfect specimen of Class I. found at the He-
raeum. The clay is of a yellow tinge, and the decoration a lustrous black.
In point of technique it possesses the greatest affinity with Mycenaean vases.
The quality of the clay is of a slightly lighter and thinner texture, and the
scheme of decoration distinctly linear. At any rate, its connection with the
Mycenaean style is so strong as to show that it is certainly contemporaneous
with the later period of that style.
Half a dozen similar vases were found in good condition, and as many more in frag-
ments. The scheme of decoration was the same in all, some, however, having a series of
fine lines beween the broad bands. Several other vases, in shape more like the jugs on
p. 100, were found, on which the linear decoration was apparent, but of extremely careless
execution.
ICalathoi.
These small vessels form a distinct series in the Argive style. Those which show the
most advanced technique undoubtedly fall into Class II. To avoid confusion, they have
been placed together. They seem to have been a common shape, since about fifty were
found, most of them intact.
The earliest examples are band-made, very small (not more than 35 mm. in height or
55 mm. in diameter), with one or two broad bands very carelessly applied. Next, a series
of wheel-made specimens, some without any decoration, more commonly with several broad
stripes. Finally a number of kalathoi, carefidly made with a decoration of stripes in
series of two or three. These last probably belong to Class II. In some cases the rim is
formed of a series of plastic mouldings with dots on them, but with-
out any other decoration on the vase except a glaze on the interior.

with dark brown bands on interior as well as exterior. Cf. Ann. dell'
Inst. 1877, tav. d'agg. A. B. 14.i
This kalathos belongs to the second series. Judging from its simi-
larity to the bowl found in the Bee-Hive tomb (p. 95. Fig. 30) and
the style of decoration, we cannot date it as any later than the end of the Mycenaean period.

The last three belong to the later series of the kalathoi,
though the interval between them and the earlier ones is not

ties of the form. Fig. 48 has a certain resemblance to the bowls already mentioned.
Saucers.
Just at this point we place a series of small saucers, of which quite a number were
found. They vary from 3 to 5 cm. in diameter and 10 to 15 nnn. in height, and would
seem to be developed from the Mycenaean saucers (p. 96) witli the addition of Argive
decoration of concentric bands. Extra color (generally red) is added to some of the
bands.
Two types may be detected.
a. Flat base, straight or sloping sides, with a sharply defined rim, flange curving outwards.
A small boss is occasionally found on the
interior, and small projections are often
added to the rim as if for handles.
b. The base is either flat or curved, with
curved sides, no flange to the rim.

We now come to the class which includes almost all the Argive style, from its begin-
ning in the Mycenaean times down to the rise of the Oriental influence, a period of
perhaps nearly two centuries. Three periods may be noted, though as the transitional
stages between them are so gradual, they will not be used as a basis for classification.
1. The survival of certain Mycenaean motives, still retained from the older style.
2. Pure linear treatment.
3. The introduction of the animal figure and the development of the Oriental influ-
ence. We also find three distinct technical methods, a. The ordinary technique, similar
to that already discussed, b. The application of extra color, c. The contrast obtained by
the action of fire, when half the vase is burnt bright red and half left in its natural
decoration in black or brown.
The principal shapes are : —
Lekythos,
Oinochoe,
Skyphos,
Pyxis,
Aryballos,
Alabastron,
Plate.
Several other shapes will be met with, but such are comparatively rare and Avill be
discussed as they appear.
Lehythoi.
Two varieties of the lekythos may be found, one rather globular in shape (cf. Not. d.
Scavi, 1895, p. 138, fig. 15) and the other {Berl. Cat. pi. v. 102) slightly more devel-
oped. The latter shape is a modification of the former, and becomes very common
during the later period of the Argive style.
Tt/pes.
Fig. 51. Height, 0.065 m. Bands on neck, handle, and body, with pot-hooks on shoulder, and
below a broken wave pattern.
The shape of this lekythos is somewhat similar to the Mycenaean form (v. Myk. Vas. XLiv. 63).
In the wave pattern we still see a survival of Myce-
naean motives. A similar lekythos is at Syracuse
(v. Not. d. Scavi, 1893, p. 473). From the form
and ornamentation this lekythos may be considered
as one of the earliest of Class II. Frasrments of
several other similar lekythoi were found.
Fig. 52. Height, 0.085 m. Part of rim broken
away. Bands on neck, handle, and body, Geometric
snake on shoulder. Decoration in dark and light
brown. Cf. Mt. d. Scavi, 1895, p. 138, fig. 15 ; Brit.
Mis. a. 1061.
This seems to be slightly more advanced in form than the preceding, and Fig. 52.

THE ARGIVE STYLE: LEKYTHOI, CLASS II 127
is a common type at the Ileraeum. Half a dozen more examples were found, more or less intact,
and fragments representing perhaps a hundred.
Fig. 53. Height, 0.075 m. On shoulder, two birds with
a scroll between them. Incised lines.
Identically the same form as the preceding. As in the
Geometric style, the birds are the first living subjects in-
troduced on a vase. The heraldic scheme of the birds
suggests the fourth class of the Mycenaean style. Cf.
Myk. Vas. xxxvi. 364. This seems to be one of the ear
liest instances of the incised line.
The chief variation in these lekythoi Hes in the
ornamentation on tlie shoulder. The following types
were noted in the fragments : —
Rayg. These include several varieties. They are either
single, radiating from the centre, or else double, one set
radiating directly from the neck, alternating with a second
set which radiate from a band drawn just around the neck ; rays drawn in outline ; rays composed
of interlacing lines. All have their points outwards.
In some cases a second band of zigzags is added on the body just below the rays.
Checkerboard. This is generally used as a band on the body. The plain squares are occasion-
ally dotted.
Lozenges. As an ornament in field on the shoulder, combined with a ray or pot-hook.
Fig. 54. Height, 0.06 m. Neck and handle restored ; on shoulder ray pattern.
This is an example of the simplest form of this second type, of
which about twenty-five more were found. The majority had a ray
pattern around the base, and the place of one of the broad bands
taken by a checkerboard band. Pot-hooks were occasionally found
on the shoulder instead of rays.
Fig. 55. Height, 0.062 m. Yellowish clay, burnt red on one
side. Circle of dots on rim. Sign like the letter H on handle,
vertical zigzags on rim. On body, frieze of three animals. Below,
rays. Above and below animal frieze, two lines of dark red paint
applied. The vase is intact.
This lekythos represents the most advanced stage of the second type, and can equally
well be considered as the first stage of Class III., or the last of Class II. In fact, it
forms a link between the two, since the animal figure is now introduced, through the
Oriental influence. A dozen more of this type were found intact, and at least a basket-
ful of fragments belonging to similar vases.
The application of the extra dark red Hnes now becomes quite a feature in the style,
and few vases belonging to Class III. are without it. Several lekythoi of this shape,
without any animal decoration, showed this same feature. One was adorned with two
broad bands of brown, on which six alternating thin stripes of purple and yellow had
been applied. A similar instance is at Syracuse (Case VII. No. 2893).
Also several lekythoi were found Avith checkerboards on the body (with applied bands
of dark red between), and a leaf rosette on the neck, similar to those in the Louvre,
V. Pottier, Vases de Lottvre, pi. xxxix. E, 309 ; cf . also 3Ion. Ant. I. p. 824 (from
Megara Hyblaea). Several examples are in Rome (Museo Papa-Giulio) and Florence.
The type seems to be very common.

128 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Oiiiochoai.
Three distinct types of oinochoai are to be noted.
1. Short neck, body slightly curved.
2. Long neck, cone-shaped body.
3. Short neck, square shoulder.
Each type is subject to occasional variations.
Type 1.
Fig. 56. Height, 0.124 m. ; diameter at base, 0.115 ni. Missing portions restored in plaster.
Reddish clay, with dark brown decoration. Three bands of ver-
tical zigzags on shoulder.
This was the only examjjle of the type which was preserved
entire. As few other fragments of similar vases were found,
the form does not appear very common at the Heraeuni.
1 a and b (Plate LIX.). Two fragments from a large
oinochoe, whose height cannot be determined. Reddish clay,
with dark brown decoration. On the neck, an elaborate flower
pattern between vertical "Running Dogs." On shoulder, alter-
nating rays of interlaced lines whose tojjs end in two hooks
with a border of fine vertical lines ; below, dotted lozenge chain.
Several other fragments from the same vase were found.
The pattern on the neck is similar to that on an oinochoe in
Pj, -,; Athens {Jahrh. II. (1887), p. 52, fig. 14) as well as the Analy-
tos jug (Jahrh. II. (1887), pi. iii.), and seems to be drawn from
a Mycenaean prototype. I am unable to find any similar treatment of the ray pattern on the
shoulder.
The form of this vase is a slight modification of Fig. 56, as the diameter of the body is not
so large in proportion to the neck. Only one other vase of exactly this form was found with a
decoration on the body of rays, bands, and checkerboard. The form, however, is quite common
at Syracuse. Cf. Not. d. Scav. 1893, p. 468 ; 1895, p. 153, fig. 38. In the Corinthian period it
becomes a favorite shape.
The few fragments of oinochoai of this form (Fig. 56 and Plate LIX. 1) did not
show any great variety in their scheme of ornamentation. Zigzags, checkerboards, and
rays (especially ou the base) were the usual motives.
Type 2.
This type seems to be the most favorite form of oinochoe at the Heraeuni, judging by
the number of the vases. Thirty or so were preserved more or less complete, varying
between 10 and 15 cm. in height. An equal number had the necks and handles broken
away, but the bodies intact, while the number of fragments belonging to vases of this
form filled several baskets. Something like a hundred necks were found, but in only a
few instances did they fit any of the bodies. The total number of vases represented
must have numbered several hundred.
Fig. 57. Heiglit, 0.165 m. ; diameter, 0.135 m. Handle restored. On neck, two bands, the
upi)er containing a zigzag figure like an N, and the lower a lozenge chain. Both bands are broken
by a figure resembling two triangles with contiguous points. On shoulder. Geometric snake with
Sioastikas, dots, and zigzags as ornaments in field.
This vase is still somewhat allied to the preceding type, save for the lengthening of the neck,
and seems identical in form with an oinochoe from Eleusis ('E</)t7/u.. 'Ap;^. 1898, p. 106, fig. 26).
Fig. 57.
Kk;. .-,8.
THE ARCtIVE STYLE: OINOCHOAI, CLASS II 129
Fig. 58. Height, 0.17 in. ; diameter, 0.12 m. Rim and handle restored. On neck, four bands
of lozenge chains, separated by a broad
band of horizontal zigzags. On shoulder,
rays (interlaced lines), with swastikas as
ornaments in field. Below, checkered band ;
on base, rays. Decoration in bright red
and black.
This is the best specimen of the type that
was found. The form is seen here in its
complete development, the body cone-
shaped, and the neck very long (about
once and a half times the height of the
body).
The technique of all these vases and
fragments is very similar, the clay red-
dish or greenish in tone, with a yellow slip, and the decoration (often very lustrous) in
black or brown, changing to red, in many cases intentionally so. As no two vases have
exactly the same ornamentation, it will be well to consider that more in detail.
As in almost every case, the main body of the vase is ornamented with fine parallel
bands ; the variation occurs in the following places : neck, handle, shoulder, base, and
bottom of the vase.
Heck and rim. The rim as a rule is never ornamented, but is entirely covered on the
outside with a dark glaze. A few fragments were found which showed that the orna-
mentation (lozenge chain) had been carried on to the rim itself. The neck, however,
offers the greatest variety of ornamentation. From over a hundred necks, forty-five dis-
tinct systems of designs were counted, which fall into several classes. The design never
completely encircles the vase, but leaves a vacant space from rim to shoulder, just back of
the handle.
In a few cases the neck is covered with parallel horizontal lines the whole length.
This, however, is not common, and was observed on only a few fragments. The usual
type is a series of broad friezes containing the various motives, separated by the parallel
line system. These figures are either arranged in series of equal width, or else broad
and narrow friezes together. The ornaments in them are always zigzags (vertical or
horizontal), lozenge chains, meanders, rays, or water birds. A few examples showed a
water bird in a panel.
The following represent the most striking examples (Plate LIX.) : —
2. Length, 0.107 m. Reddish yellow clay, with yellow slip. Brilliant red decoration. Meander
frieze bounded above and below by friezes of lozenge chain (interlaced lines). Below, part of a
frieze of N ornament similar to fig. 57.
3. Length, 0.054 m. ; width, 0.045 m. Brick red clay, with yellow slip. Brilliant decoration
in light and dark red. Guilloche.
Reckoning the diameter of the neck as one fourth of the length, we obtain an oinochoe of about
25 cm. in length (the neck being about once and a half times the height of the body). Several
fragments of necks of an even larger size were found, which, together with the size of some of the
fragments from the bodies, shows that oinochoai of a very large size (25 to 35 cm. in height) existed
at the Heraeum. Oinochoai of such a large size are rather rare ; the largest existing specimen
with which I am familiar was formerly at Callaly Castle,' in Northumberland (Forman collection),
and measures 22.] cm. in height, and 21 cm. in width at the base.
1 What has become of this vase I am not able to say. No mention of it occurs in the Catalogue of the Forman Sale.
130 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Shoulder. Less variety was exhibited in the decoration of the shoulder. The usual
motives are, rays (in silhouette, or formed by interlaced lines), radiating outwards
from the neck. A few fragments showed rays pointing inwards ; zigzJigs, vertical and
horizontal, singly or in series ; checkerboard. The shoulder has occasionally a double
frieze, as in Figs. 57 and 58.
Fig. 59. Fragment of oinochoe. Height, 0.057 m. Brick red clay, with bright red decoration.
On shoulder, frieze of birds (lozenges and pot-hooks as ornaments in
field), and a narrow border of vertical zigzags. Usual arrangement
of bands on body. Incised lines freely used.
This fragment represents the latest stage of the oinochoai belong-
ing to Class n., and corresponds to the lekythos on p. 159, fig. 55.
As in the Geometric style, birds seem to be the earliest animate
motives used.
_ £3^ '-^ Handle, Out of over fifty handles, twenty-three distinct
designs were counted. The decoration is almost invai-iably on
the outside of the handle, the inside being left plain. One
fragment showed glaze on the inside. The usual types are, —
Horizontal lines. Meander,
Vertical lines. Geometric snake.
Both combined, Guilloche,
Zigzags, vertical or horizontal. Rosettes.
Herring-bone,
The following are the most striking examples : —
PLATE LIX.
4. Length, 0.087 m. Yellow clay, dark brown decoration, rather thin. A similar meander
exists on the handle of an oinochoe at Syracuse, tomb 344. Cf . Not. d. Scavi, 1895, p. 152, fig. 38.
5. Length, 0.095 m. Light red clay, with yellow slip. Dark red glaze on inside. Guilloche
alternately in outline and silhouette. The same peculiarity may be found on a Mycenaean frag-
ment {Myk. Vas, xxxiv. 339). Another instance occurs on the rim of an amphora found at
Cynosarges by the British School at Athens (J. H. S. XXII. [1902], pi. ii.).
6. Length, 0.069 m. Light yellow clay. Snake and rosettes in black (cf. t/. //. S. XI. [1890],
p. 175; Jahrh. I. [1886], p. 135), very much faded. Incised lines are here used.
7. Length, 0.135 m. Reddish clay. Decoration originally red, but burnt quite black. The
arrangement of a half rosette at the base of the handle is extremely curious.
Base. The decoration on the base is usually confined to a ray pattern. Little
variety is introduced, except in the height of the rays which on the larger fragments
measure as much as three centimetres. A frieze is occasionally added above the rays of
zigzags or some other design. One fragment showed a Mycenaean spii'al chain. In
some cases the line system is continued clear to the base, or a frieze of zigzags may be
introduced in place of the rays.
Bottom. The decoration of the flat surface on the bottom with a design is a curious
feature among Argive vases of this type, and may be also seen on an oinochoe from
Aegina {Athen. Mitt. XXII. [1897], p. 294, fig. 19). The Aegina oinochoe follows
the usual scheme, which is a series of parallel lines crossing each other at right angles.
The other scheme is simply a series of parallel lines across the diameter of the base.
Other fragments showed the fore feet of a horse, scroll and lozenge patterns. On the
THE ARGIVE STYLE: CLASS II., OINOCHOAI 131
bottom of one fragment of the base, the upper part of a human face, similar in character
to the face on Plate LVI. 7, appeared. A similar face occurs on a Ionic hydria in the
Louvre (Pottiei-, Vas. Ant. de Louvre, pi. lii, E 696).
To this type of oinochoe belong a number of vases, which through their decoration
seem to form a class by themselves. About a dozen were found more or less intact, and
perhaps fifty more represented by fragments. These vases were not more than 10 cm.
in height, and are entirely covered with a black glaze, except on the base, where a natu-
ral band of the clay is left on which is a ray pattern. Around the body of these vases
run thin lines of red or yellow, applied after firing, and on the shoulder an incised tongue
pattern, the divisions of which are alternately red and yellow.
The clay of all these vases is of a light yellowish tone, and the glaze varies between
black and brown. The only variety lies in the arrangement of the applied red and
yellow lines, which are arranged in many different ways. The three fragments on col-
ored Plate LXIV. 6 to 8, illustrate clearly the characteristics of this type.
8. (Plate LIX.) Neck of oinochoe. Length, 0.115 in. Light reddish clay, entirely covered
with a lustrous black glaze, on which are added three rosettes in yellow.
No other fragments of this vase were found, but it seems certain that it belonged to a large
oinochoe, entirely glazed, with the usual ' tongue ' pattern on the shoulder. The presence of an orna-
ment on the neck of oinochoai of this type seems unique ; I know of no similar instance.
In Greece itself vases of this type do not seem common. A few similar fragments
were found at Aegina [Athen. Mitt. XXII. [1897], p. 126). Outside of Greece, especially
in Italy, the type appears frequently (cf. Not. d. Scav. 1895, p. 139, fig. 18). Similar
examples may be found in the British Museum and the Louvre.
As a rule the vases were small ; but one exception (No. 8) occurs.
Type 3.
This type differs principally from the preceding, in that the shoulder is set more
squarely to the body, the line between being furnished, in some cases, with a slight
moulding. The shape is not common ; one may be found at Syracuse (from Megara
Hyblaea, tomb 898), and another in Naples (Heydemann, Cat. pi. iii. 130). Few vases
of this type were found at the Heraeum ; not more than five intact
or partly so, and as many more in fragments. The scheme of
decoration did not differ materially from what we have already
discussed ; two of the vases were entirely covered with a dark
brown glaze on which were applied lines of dark red and white.
Others again showed a shoulder pattern of rays or leaves, and on
one fragment the body was ornamented with a " Running Dog "
pattern.
Fig. 60. Height, 0.086 m. Rim and handle restored (rim falsely so, ^-j^, ^
as it should have had a trefoil opening). Light red clay, with red deco-
ration. Leaf pattern on shoulder and body, and applied dark red bands on neck, shoulder, and
body. The oinochoe in Naples, mentioned above, has similar ornamentation.
Miscellaneous Types.
Under this head may be mentioned a few oinochoai which show some slight variations
from the types already discussed. One small jug of greenish clay was found, 5 cm. in
height, which though in shape similar to lekythoi of Type 1, had a trefoil Up ; except
132
THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
lii.
for two bands on the body, the jug bore no decoration. The body of another was
also found which beh)nged to Type 2 of the oinochoai, but Avhich had a moulding
around the bottom, so that the base was slightly raised. On the bottom was a wheel
with four spokes, having a square of interlaced lines between each
spoke. Another, which belongs to the same type, is given below.
Fig. 61. Fleight, 0.055 m. ; diameter, 0.062 ui. Rim and handle miss-
ing. Reddish clay, with brown decoration. This vase is more squat and
rounded tlian those included in Type 2, and is paralleled by a Geometric jug
from Eleusis, 'E<^r/,*. 'Apx- 1898, pi. ii. 10.
Further we may mention several small jugs, with a globular shaped
body, neck and handles missing. One in particular (height, 0.65 m.) had a Geometric
snake on the body, and similar shoulder decoration to a jug from Eleusis {ibid. 1898,
p. 102, pi, ii. 5).
Skyphoi.
The bulk of all the Argive fragments found at the Heraeum belonged to skyphoi,
which were presumably the favorite shape. As these skyphoi are usually small and
made of fine clay, they are generally broken, and few were preserved intact. The varia-
tions, however, are few, and the general scheme of decoration is the same in all.
Three distinct forms can be noted.
1. Skyphoi with vertical handles.
2. Skyphoi with horizontal handles.
3. With similar handles to Type 2, but more closely allied to the kylix form.
The interior in every case is covered with a dark glaze.
Type 1.
Fig. 62. Height, 0.069 m. ; diameter, 0.08 ra. Handle and part of rim restored. Dark clay.
Fig. 62.
Fig. 63.
with decoration in black and brown. Arrangement of vertical and horizontal lines on rim, stripes
on handle.
The majority of the fragments of 1 belong to similar vases. A similar one is in the British
Museum, A 548. Cf. also Zannoni, Scavi, XXXVHI. 6.
Fig. 63. Height, 0.077 m. ; diameter, 0.07 m. Reddish clay, vertical lines on rim inclosing
three series of zigzags in a panel ; stripes on handles.
Here the separation of the rim and body is more sharply defined than usual. Both Figs. 62 and
63 are from the Old Temple Terrace.
Skyphoi of Tyjie 1 were not very common at the Heraeum, nor, in fact, is it one of
the usual shapes. It is evidently derived from a Mycenaean shape (cf. Myk. Thong.
X. 49), as there we see the same sharp definition of rim and body. As a rule the
THE ARGIVE STYLE: SKYPHOI 133
skyplioi of both types had a flat base, but some showed a well-defined foot (as iii Fig.
66) ; the presence of the foot seems pecidkr to each type.
Type 2.
Type 2 is the usual form of skyphos found not only at the Heraeum, but all over
Greece, Sicily, and Itiily. The form is that in Berlin Cut. pi. v. 98. Some thirty or so
from the Heraeum (mostly very small) were preserved infcict, while the number of frag-
ments filled several baskets. They vary largely in size, some being as high as 20 to 30
cm., and some measuring less than 5 cm. in height. The only variation in the form lies
\\\ the fact that some are much taller in proportion to their diameter tlian others. The
scheme of decoration falls into two classes.
a Exterior ornamented with the usual linear motives.
b. Entire vase covered by a dark glaze except for a band around the rim on which the various
linear motives are placed. In some cases only the lower half of the skyphos is glazed.
A large number of fragments belonging to skyphoi exactly similar to those published
by PaUat, Atlim. Mitt. XXII. (1897), p. 276, fig. 8, were found. The prevailing style
of decoration seemed to be rays on the base, bands around the centre, and vertical lines
and zigzags on the rim. Rays are almost invariably used on the base, and in only a fcAv
cases are the bands continued down to the base. The chief variations occur on the rim ;
we have rays, zigzags, water birds (Pallat, loc. cit. p. 278, figs. 10 and 11), or a meander
pattern. All these motives are generally included in a panel bounded by vertical lines.
In some cases a smaller panel with a double triangle (as in Pallat, p. 279, fig. 12) is
added at each side of the main panel. The space covered by the handles is usually left
undecorated. Several fragments also showed that in lieu of handles the vase had a
small boss on each side.
The greatest variations occur in the technique. The clay runs through all shades of
red, with a slip that is generally red but in some cases a vivid yellow. The most inter-
esting technical feature is the contrast obtained by subjecting a part of the vase to a
stronger fire, in such a way that half of the vase is black and the other half red. As
the line of separation is very strongly marked in many fragments, Ave can only suppose
that the result was obtained by covering over with moist clay that part of the vase on
which the decoration was to remain black, leaving the other part exposed to the full
action of the fire. The interior, of course, was treated in similar fashion, as the glaze
shows the same contrasts of red and black.
This same peculiarity may be seen on Mycenaean vases, but on them the contrast
obtained is not quite so decided or regular. Outside of the Heraeum this peculiarity
occurs but seldom. A pyxis cover from Aegina (Pallat, loc. cit. p. 306, fig. 24) shows
this same technique, and similar instances occur on a few fragments from the Acropolis
and on a skyphos at Syracuse, Case VIII. No. 2132, the upper part of which is grayish
green, and the lower yellowish red, the line of separation being strongly marked. It is
not clear from Orsi's words (Not. d. Scat'. 1891, p. 415, " due skyphoi neri " etc.), whether
similar fragments have been found there. On the whole, as this technique is met with
but seldom outside of the Argolid,"it is possible that we may detect here a distinct Argive
peculiarity.
The following fragments best illustrate the technique ; the clay is practically the same
in all, — reddish, with a yellowish or greenish slip.
134 THE VASP:S AND VASE FRA(iMENTS
PLATE LXIV.
2. Rays and triangle in dark brown. Bands in red.
3. Zigzags and upper series of bauds in black ; deep red glaze on lower part.
4. Geometric snake, zigzags, and vertical bauds iu black ; upjjcr bauds of rim and below the
main frieze in red.
The introduction of the snake on these skyphoi is rather rare ; no other similar instance
was found at the Heraeuin.
Quite a number of fragments, mostly of skyphoi, of which Plate LXIV. No. 5, is an
example, showed a peculiarity which is probably accidental. These were all of reddish
clay, with a bright yellow slip, but with their glaze and decoration worn off in streaks.
The decoration had assumed a brilliant pink color. Whether this is the result of the
nature of the soil in which these fragments lay, or some peculiarity in the glaze, I cannot
say. A skyphos of precisely the same appearance is at Syracuse (Hot. d. Scav. 1895,
p. 183).
Lastly a small number of fragments, which probably came from the burnt layer of the
Old Temple, though the places where they were found are not specified in any note of
the excavation. These fragments had been burnt almost black, and in such a way that
their decoration, which was originally black, now appears dark red. This is clearly the
result of some action of fire after the vase was completed, and was not intentional.
Besides the motives mentioned above, a few more may be mentioned which were only
found on scattered fragments.
PLATE LIX.
9. Lozenge chain, of interlaced lines. Two distinct rows of lozenges are used combined
together. The upper part of this fragment is black ; the lower, red.
10. Here a second narrow frieze with a lozenge chain is introduced below the meander border.
Similar technique to 9.
11. The panel is here separated from the rim by the Linear system, and contains a fish and part
of a second. Incised lines are used. This is the only example of a fish among the Argive
fragments from the Heraeum.
b.
Fig. 64. Height, 00.72 m. ; diameter, 00.85 m. Eeddish yellow clay, with dark red glaze.
Border, vertical lines, and zigzags on rim, horizontal
stripe on each handle.
This type is too common to need any comment.
Fragments of similar vases were found in large
quantities at the Heraeum.
The combination of Classes a and b is shown by
Plate LXIV. No. 3. Many vases of Class b, espe-
cially the very small ones, have a broad band of
dark red applied to the glaze beneath the rim, or a
series of narrow purple bands.
Type 3.
Skyphoi belonging to Type 3 are not very numerous, only half a dozen being found
intact, and very few represented by fragments. These are very low in proportion to
their diameter, with large handles. The rim is sharply defined, and there is no indica-
tion of a foot. The decoration follows the usual Linear scheme.
THE ARGIVE STYLE: MISCELLANEOUS VASES 135
This shape seems to be more usual in the Geometric style. Cf. Wide, Jahrh. XIV
(1899), p. 214, %s. 96-98, and p. 215, fig. 100.
Fig. 65. Height, 0.047 m. ; diameter, 0.095 m. Red-
dish yellow clay, with black decoration changing to dark
red. Border of zigzags and vertical lines.
Several others were found with their exteriors com-
pletely glazed except for a narrow border along the
rim as in Type 2, Class b. Similar skyphoi are at ^'"^' ^'
Syracuse (Case VII.) and at Naples {Rac. Cum. left-hand case, No. 85184).
Miscellaneous.
12. From rim of skyphos, with a handle arranged as in the ' amphora a colonnette.' On
shoulder, Geometric snake.
This skyphos does not seem to agree with any of the types already mentioned. Although no other
similar fragment was found at the Heraeum, several may be found in Syracuse {Not. d. Scav.
1893, p. 477 ; 1895, p. 176). Such cases are clearly older than the Corinthian style and form a

A3 no other fragments of this vase were
found, a conjectural restoration based on the
similar vase from Aegina (Pallat, loc. cit.
p. 272, fig. 7) is here offered.
This skyphos belongs to a series of
vases of which several are already known.' Our fragment resembles the vase from Aegina
so closely that it might be considered as belonging to the same vase. The general char-
acter of the fragment is much more in keeping with the Argive style than the Geometric,
and hence I feel no hesitation in classing it with the former style. In spite of vases
of this description having been found at Rhodes, there is certainly no reason for calling
them Rhodian, since they have nothing in common with the style of that name.
Plate LXV. 1 a and b. Five fragments of a large skyphos, height and diameter uncertain.
Fine reddish yellow clay, with brilliant yellow slip, slightly greenisli in places, witli decoration
varying between dark brown and red. Brownish yellow paint lias been applied in some places
after the first firing. No glaae on the interior. From the large size of the vase, together with the
absence of glaze on the interior, the form would seem to be a deinos rather than a skyphos.
An elaborate system of palmettes is here seen, separated from a ray pattern below by the usual
Linear system. The central leaves of each alternate palmette are in brownish yellow. The centres
of each palmette are formed by three lines, the intervening spaces being cut out, and no slip being
left ; and the same is true of the spaces which divide the central petals.
A fragment, almost exactly similar, was found at Aegina (Pallat, loc. cit. p. 279,
fig. 12, p. 280, fig. 12 a), for whose restoration our fragment formed the basis. Prom
the presence of a meander border above the palmettes on the Aegina fragment, it may be

THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
inferred that the same motive figured on our vase. The restoration of our fragment
differs materially from that of the Aegina fragment, in that the lower portions of each
pilmette are closed by the line border. It must, however, be said that the restoration of
the tops of each palmette is conjectural, at least in the case of the four-leaved pahnettes.
Symmetry demands that the central lobe of the three-leaved palmettes should be the same
at the top as at the bottom, and for the same reason the two central lobes of the four-
leaved palmette should correspond at the top to the broad base.
In spite of the advanced character of the palmettes, the presence of the meander border
on the Aegina fragment is sufficient to warrant this vase being assigned to Class II.
Sugar- Bowl Form.
The form is akin to BerL Cut. pi. v. 104, and Wilisch, op. cit. pi. i. 11.
Fig. 67. Height, 0.066 m. Greenish clay, with black decoration. Six purple stripes added
on body and shoulder ; rays on base, vertical zigzag borders
on body. Intact.
This was the only example, whole or in fragments,
among the Argive vases, of the sugar-bowl vase, which
is such a characteristic shape of the Corinthian style.
The cover was not found, or could not be identified.
Pyxides.
Fiii. (J7. The fragments of pyxides and their covers filled some-
thing over two baskets. Few of these could be restored
entire. The number of covers found was fftr in excess of the vases represented by the
fragments, — in fact, three or four times as many covers were found. No explanation
for this fact is forthcoming, xniless the covers were intended for skyphoi and other vessels
with a wide opening.
As very few of the covers could be identified as belonging to any particular vase, and
as the variations in their form are somewhat marked, they will be discussed sejjarately.
Two types of pyxides may be noted.
1. Those whose covers rest directly on the rim (Wilisch, op. cit. pi. i. 3).
2. Those whose body is entirely hidden by the cover, like a modern cheese-jar (Wilisch, pi.
i. 4).
Type 1 falls into two divisions.
a. Pyxides with curved or sloping sides (^Berl. Cat. pi. v. 103).
b. Pyxides with straight sides (Berl. Cat. pi. v. 101).
Type 2 falls into two divisions.
a. Sides sloping inward, without moulding.
b. Moulding on base, into which the cover rim fits.
The pyxis seems to be a commoner type in Class II. than in Class III. of the Argive
period. The decoration does not vary to any extent. As a rule the body is covei-ed
with parallel bands, leaving a border at the bottom for a ray pattern, and one, sometimes
two, borders below the rim, which are filled with the usual Geometrical designs. The
interior is invariably covered with a dark glaze, which is never found on the under side
of the cover.
THE ARGIVE STYLE: PYXIDES
137
Type 1 a.
Few vases are represented by the fragments of this type. The only one preserved
whole was 5 cm. in height and 9 in diameter, and was made of a coarse reddish-yellow
clay, without any decoration. The other fragments show a ray pattern at the base and
an incised tongue pattern as a rim border, with the alternate spaces colored very much
yellow or red, faded.
Type 1 h.
To this type belong the bulk of the pyxis fragments. About a dozen vases were re-
stored almost entire. As a rule the vases are rather small, varying from 4 to 5 cm. in
height and 8 to 10 cm. in diameter. The decoration shows generally the following
characteristics : —
Missing portions restored in plaster.
On bottom of pyxis, four series of
Entire side covered with parallel bands.
Border on rim (generally zigzags in series).
Border on base (ray pattern, zigzag or " Running Dog ").

Pyxis. On rim border with Geometric snake. Ver-
tical and horizontal zigzags as ornaments in field. In-
cised dots on snake's body. " Running Dog " pattei-n on

similar to upper border on the pyxis. On button four pot-hooks.
A similar snake may be found on a Geometric amphora cover ;
v. B. C. H. XIX. (1895), p. 276, fig. 2.
A few fragments of another pyxis (9 cm. in height) of pre-
cisely similar clay and decoration were found. The glaze, how-
ever, was in better condition, and the concentric bands on the
bottom more finely drawn and more numerous.

Pyxis. On edge of rim short parallel
stripes. On rim border of three meanders
in separate panels, with an eight-pointed
star separating them from the handles.
Single meander on the handles. Separated
from the upper border by a checkerboard

bottom of the pyxis, and a ray border. The slip is burnt bright red as far as the ray border and
then changes to a light gray. The button is restored, but the shape is probably correct.
This pyxis would seem to fall in the latter period of the Linear Argive class, at a time when
the eastern influence was beginning
to make itself felt, since the elabo-
rate flower and lotos motives on the
body and cover are certainly derived
from some foreign source. At the
same time the presence of the purely
Geometrical motives is sufficient
warrant for including the pyxis in
Class II.
The restoration of the design is
simple in the case of the body, but

V ^>Ja^' « B . / ■^ peculiarity may be noted that on
\ ^'^^ V ^ f^ / the reverse of the body (not shown
in the cut) three flower scrolls
are placed together in the vacant
spaces between the roots of the large
flowers, with no lozenge pattern in
the alternate spaces. Moreover, a
close examination shows that all the
scrolls are not precisely alike, some
ending in a bud. Details of three
of the scrolls are shown in the cut. The ornamentation on both cover and bottom seems to have
followed a similar scheme, and though it cannot be restored with absolute certainty, it is probably
treated in similar fashion to the flower scrolls on the side. A skyphos in the British Museum
(^Athen. Mitt. XXII. [1897], p. 286, pi. vii. 3) shows precisely the same form of lotos or palmette
under the handle. With that exception, I have failed to find a similar instance, nor do I know of
any case where the bottom of a pyxis contains such an elaborate ornamentation as here.
The change in color on the cover finds
its parallel in a cover from Aegina (v.
Pallat, loc. cit. p. 300, fig. 24).
Type 2 a.
Fragments of this type were ex-
tremely scarce, and generally belong
to the bases of these vases. Such
fragments had pure linear deco-
ration.^ The following fragments
alone are worth noticinjr.

fragments of pyxis, a base, b cover.

Fragments of this type were quite numerous, but all, with a few exceptions, belong
to covers. Fig. 70 shows the profile of one of the bases of the pyxis.
The decoration on both pyxis and cover was always the same, and is
usually more elaborate than on the covers of Type 1.

zags, tongue pattern, checkerboard and tongue pattern. Dark red color is applied to the tongues
in series of threes and twos.
Other fragments showed the usual Linear motives, one having a frieze of water birds.
CovevB.
The covers which belong to pyxides of Type 1 were so
numerous as to demand a separate discussion. A large
number were recovered almost intact (the knob being gen-
erally broken away) and the fragments filled about a basket.
Some four or five hundred covers were represented, a number far

^ exceeding the pyxides found.
Fig. 72. Two types are represented.
Without flanges. These fall into two divisions.
Those which sink down in the centre and whose edges fit directly on the rim of the pyxis.
Those whose edges turn down sharply at the end and fit over the riui of the pyxis (F?.g. 72).
With flanges. These are provided with a small flange just under the edge, which fits
inside the rim of the pyxis, like the cover of a lady's powder box.
The variations lie principally in the angle formed by the upper part
of the cover and the varying distance between the flange and the
edge of the cover. (Fig. 73.)
As all the covers follow a stereotyped system of linear orna-
mentation, none have been included in our plates. Such as
are noteworthy are shown in outline.

THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Fig. 74.
Type 1 a.
Only one specimen of this type was found (Fig. 71), 10 cm. in diameter. The entire
surface of the exterior was covered with a black glaze, with a broad band of the natural
clay near the rim.
Type 1 b.
No covers of this type were found intact. The decoration consists invariably of broad
or fine parallel lines, in black and red. On many the two are seen together with a sharp
line of demarcation. The clay is much thinner than in covers of Type 2,
which may account for all being in a fragmentary condition.
Fig. 74 illustrates a type of cover which is equally connected with both
Types 1 and 2.
Type B.
The covers belonging to Ty|ie 2 were by far the most numerous. Though exhibiting
considerable variation in their decoration, the general scheme seems fairly distinct.
Entire surface glazed.
Entire surface covered with parallel lines.
Both combined : i. e. the centre is glazed and the bands are confined to the outer part.
Rays in centre (usually six or eight pointed star) surrounded by bands. Covers showing the
finest technique belong to this type.
Checkerboard on rim.
Zigzags in series on rim.
Tongue pattern on rim. Incised lines used to mark each tongue, with the application of purple,
yellow, or white on alternate divisions.
Knobs.
Nearly a basketfid of the knobs which form the top of the covers was found, and
these also show a surprising amount of variation. As few of the covers were found with
their knobs, a separate treatment is again demanded. These knobs do not seem to be
governed in any way by the cover types, but fall into peculiar tyjjes of their own.

The decoration is generally the following : —

Zigzags.
Checkerboard.
Leaf rosette.
Tongue pattern.
As the available space for decoration is small, these motives are not combined, except
one case where a leaf rosette was bordered by a checkerboard pattern.
Plates.
Fragments of plates were quite numerous at the Heraeum, about two basketsful
being found. While many belong to the Geometric style, the majority of them belong
to the second class of the Argive style. No fragments belonging to the first class were
found, and only a few which belonged to the third.
Two types can be distinguished.
1. Flat base, without foot.
2. With foot.
Of Type 2, three variations appeared.
a. Form similar to 1 save that a small flange runs around the edge of the base. The angle of
the base and sides varies largely, being in some cases a right angle, in others an obtuse angle.
The sides are usually straight, but occasionally curve slightly inward.
b. The flange becomes a decided moulding and the sides are laid back very flat, forming with
the base a line very nearly straight. The rim is also provided with a moulding.
C. The curve from centre to rim is continuous and slight ; the flange being placed around the
centre of the base.

Two technical methods are seen on this plate, painted decoration on
interior, and incised on exterior. This, in a way, is paralleled in later times by the combination
of b. f. and r. f. work on the same vase.
Type 2 h.
Other fragments (generally from large plates, 15-20 cm. in diameter) show the usual
motives, checkerboards, zigzags, snakes, rosettes, rays, etc. None present any marked
peculiarities.
Fragments of this type showed no new features in their decoration. Figs. 80 and 81
show the principal vai'iations of the fonn. The plates
were usually of a large size, 25 cm. in diameter. Fig. 80
had bands for its sole decoration, purple being applied
freely.

MISCELLANEOUS FORMS.
Kothona. iBerl. Cat. VI. Ill and 112.)
This form of vase is shown by a few dozen fragments, none of which permitted any
restoration. Furtwiingler, in his catalogue (1100-1107), assigns all the vases in Berlin
to the Corinthian style. The bulk of the Heraeum fragments, however, belong to the
Argive style. One fragment was distinctly Mycenaean in character and another Geo-
metric. Several of the handles showed traces of decoration which would warrant their
belonging to the Corinthian style.
No fragments have been reproduced in our plates, since their decoration difPered in no
way from the usual Argive scheme. Bands encircling the rim, leaving the body of the
vase plain, were the usual type, though lozenge and zigzags on the body were also
found.
Hhiff-Form At-yballos.
Fig. 83. Height, 0.126 m. ; diameter, 0.10 m. Dark red clay,

laced lozenge pattern, with small circles at corners. On one side
double guilloche ; on other (almost entirely gone) a frieze, prob-
ably of animals. About a dozen fragments from similar vases
were found.
The form differs somewhat from Berl. Cat. V. 110.
Several of the smaller vases which clearly belong to the
Linear Argive class show a marked connection with the
Geometric style. The clay in these vases is distmctly that
used in Geometric, not Argive vases. The presence of sim-
ilar vases in other parts of Greece has induced Diimmler -
and Pallat '^ to regard them as imitations of Argive ware.
It seems hardly likely that these small and unimportant
vases should be avowed imitations of the Argive style made
by potters who manufactured Geometric vases ; more probably they are really Argive
vases, the clay for some reason or other being that usually employed in the Geometric style.
Half a dozen complete vases of this kind were found at the Heraeum and quite a

144 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Some three or four other jugs similar to Fig. 85 were found, also fragments of oino-
choai with the usual zigzag decoration, and a few fragments of skyphoi, with water birds
in panels.
Openwork Vases.
The following fragments form a separate type by themselves, though not found in
very large quantities. They belong to vases of the kalathos form, whose sides are
pierced at intervals by openings, giving the effect of a basket. We have already seen
this openwork principle applied to the supports of Geometric vases ; Argive vases of the
openwork type, however, were probably never used as supports, being far too small and
fragile. Moreover, having a distinct kalathos shape, it is probable that we have here a
separate variety of that form. It seems certain that these were a direct imitation of
metal work, but an imitation which did not arise until after the Mycenaean epoch, seeing
that metal vases of this description are not found in Mycenaean times. In view of their
technique, it is probable that they belong to the early period of Class II.
Two separate forms of openings may be distinguished : (a) either the vase is divided
into a series of legs with a long narrow opening sloping slightly from rim to base (in
some cases these legs are joined halfway, thus giving a double series of openings), or
(b) the vase is divided into two or three sets of triangular openings. Both methods may
be employed on the same vase.
The scheme of decoration is simple, the available space being extremely small. Either
the entire vase is covered with a dull black or brown glaze with parallel stripes of apjjlied
purple, or else to the natural clay parallel stripes are applied, leaving the rim free for a
border of some pattern, zigzag, etc., etc.
20 a and b. (Plate LIX.) Two fragments form a vase 13 cm. in diameter. Height cannot
be determined. Greenish clay, with decoration in black and dark brown. Parallel stripes on sides,
zigzags in series on rim.
This was the best preserved vase of form a. Some half a dozen bases and numerous
fragments were found ; one base showed a rather high foot with ray pattern.
Of form b only a few bases and fragments of sides, in very bad condition, were found.
Instances of such vases outside of the Argolid are not very common. There are three
in Athens (No. 232 from Corinth, No. 10969 from Eleusis,^ and a third) which have the
series of triangular openings ; one in Syracuse (Megara Hyblaea, tomb 640), one in the
British Museum (A 1601), and one from Falisco {Mon. Ant. IV. pi. vii. 17). Somewhat
allied is the kalathos in Jahrl. III. (1888), p. 241, fig. 23. Cf. also Jahrl. VI. (1891),
p. 116, No. 9.
What the purpose of these vases was cannot be told with any certainty.
CLASS ni.
ORIENTAL ARGIVE.
It is a difficult problem to decide how much outside influence caused the development
of the Argive style from Class II. to Class III., and Avhence such an influence originally
came. That the third class developed unassisted by such outside influence is impossible ;
at the same time the elements which are vital to the style, the parallel bands, incised
Hnes,^ ornaments in field and application of color have been seen either in Class II. or else
1 I am not certain whether this is the vase described as the earliest use of the incised line. Several of our
by Skias, 'E<prin. 'Apx. 1898, p. 107, fig. 27. fragments (v. p. 127) are certainly older ; that the incised
'■^ Boehlau is inclined to regard the Larissa fragments line was a foreign innovation in Greek pottery I see no
(A us lonischen unci Italhchen Nekropolen, p. 87, figs. 38-40) reason to believe.
THE ARGIVE STYLE: CLASS III 145
in Geometric ware. Although the animal frieze comes into the Argive style (hiring the
end of Class II., it is very common during the middle Geometric period. Clearly it is
some other characteristic which distinguishes Class III. from its predecessors.
This can only be the development of purely decorative patterns, such as the lotos, pal-
mette, etc. Boehlau [op. cit. p. 108) has pointed out that the wreath pattern and dotted
rosette are foreign to the early Attic style while thoroughly characteristic of the Argive
(still termed by him Proto-Corinthian). It is this innovation combined with a wealth of
decoration, incised lines, and recognition of the animal frieze as a principal scheme of
decoration that constitute the elements of Class III. The presence of the curved pal-
mette on the pyxis (cf. Fig. 69), combined with the Geometric motives, marks the transi-
tion stage between Classes II. and III., and also stands as one of the earliest examples of
the palmette with curved stem. Boehlau's analysis of its development [loc. cit.) seems to
be confirmed by our pyxis.
I do not, however, feel that he is right in contending that the Corinthian style cannot
have developed from the Argive, as that would have been a " Riickschritt zur Zeit der
Bliithe korinthischen Handels und Industrie " (p. 114). To my mind this objection can-
not hold, since we know that Corinth possessed no previous ceramic art of her own, and,
as was said before, the chief difference between the Corinthian style and Class III. of the
Argive is that between skilled and unskilled labor, the foreign influence being the same
in both. Why should we seek the direct prototypes of the Corinthian style in Asia Minor,
when the Argive style, with which it has so much in common, lies so close to our hand?
The shapes included in Class III. have all been seen before in the previous classes, no
new shape being introduced. They are : —
Lekythos, Skyphos,
Oinochoe, Pyxis,
Jug, Plate.
Lekythoi.
The lekythoi follow one form (Berl. Cat. V. 102) with little variation, and were rather
small, not more than 6 cm. in height. About twenty were preserved more or less in-
tact, while at least fifty more were represented by fragments. The scheme of decoration
is the same on all, parallel bands inclosing an animal frieze, or else the body of the vase
is adorned with a plant pattern or some other similar decoration.
Although the use of incised lines to emphasize details does not originate in this period,
it is one of its chief characteristics. Whether those vases which belong to Class III. but
do not show this feature are necessarily older than the incised vases cannot be asserted
with any accuracy. It is probable that for a time the use of botli incised and unincised
vases was common, and that the former technique supplanted the latter as the style
became advanced. Certain it is that all vases which belong to the most advanced stage
show the use of the incised line.
The lekythos described on p. 127 properly belongs to a stage between Classes II. and
III. We have there the animal frieze in its simplest form, but without the use of the
incised line.

(directly under handle). In field five small circles and a h. Decora-
tion worn away in places.
Tlie form of this vase is slightly plumper than the usual type,
which, combined with the absence of any animal frieze or incised
lines, may point to this lekythos being one of the earliest in-
stances of Class III. In spite of a certain reminiscence of My-
cenaean motives, the palmette and ivy branch are distinctly
characteristic of the later period of the Argive style. More
remarkable is the treatment of the palmette as a separate motive
without any connecting stems. We usually find the })almette
combined with others in a chain and confined to the shoulder as
a piu"ely subordinate motive.
rig. 87. Fragment of lekythos. Height, 0.033 m. Slate-colored clay, extremely fine, being
almost as thin as fine cardboard. On shoulder, dots, rays, and a
row of simple zigzags. Main frieze : four-spoked wheel and part
of a circle with a leaf border inside. In field, bull's head full
front, rosette, dotted circle, and a human head (probably female)
in profile to right. Incised lines on the two heads.
The form of this lekythos is the usual type. It is some-
what allied to the preceding lekythos, in that the main frieze
does not contain a series of animals, but circular motives.
The wheel and the circle are common themes on Geometric
vases. The use of the human head also is similar to that
on the bottom of the oinochoe (v. p. 131).' I know of no
other similar instance on an Argive vase. For the bull's
head see Fig. 8a
Fig. 87.
Fig. 88 1-4. Height, 0.057 m. Found southeast of Second
Temple. Greenish clay, with faded black decoration. On rim, rays with dots in the vacant spaces ;
series of alternating diagonal lines (suggestive of a herring-bone pattern) on handle. On neck
ornaments shaped like an I. Palmette scroll on shoulder, with a hare on the right and some
other animal on the left. Main frieze : in centre a bull's head, full front, with a bird below ;
to left two lions ; to right lion and bull. Incised lines used on all the figures. Intact.
The style of the drawing is so distinctly primitive in its character, that its position as one of the
earliest lekythoi of Class III. seems certain. That the drawing is not careless is proved by the
extremely careful execution of the vase. Stylistically it is closely allied to the lekythoi in Dres-
den,^ the British Museum,^ Boston,* and the collection of Herr von Radowitz.^
Several features may be noticed. The bull is distinguished from the other animals by the shape
of the hoofs and the membrum. The lion at the left (below the handle) has his body adorned
with dotted circles and turns his face to the front as in the Corinthian style. This is probably
one of the earliest instances of this peculiarity, for all the earlier lekythoi show animals in profile.
The bull's head in the centre is probably a mere ornament in field, though apart fi'om the previous
fragment I know of no similar instance on an Argive vase. We find it used twice on the shields
of the Macmillan lekythos^ as a device. The other two lions bear a general resemblance to
those on the Radowitz lekythos.
The ornament on the shoulder (3) shows the palmette scroll in its simplest form, but the addi-
tion of animals, either as ornaments in field or as part of the design, is new to me. That the right-

hand animal is a hare is certain, but the identity of the otlier is doubtful. The assertion is
frequently made, but without positive proof, that in vases of the Corinthian type, especially of ary-
balloi, where two panthers are seen with heads full front together and bodies in profile, that one
panther only is meant, and that by some curious conventionality of ideas both sides of the animal
were to be seen at the same time. In the case of our animals, two legs only are g;iven to each, and
as the left side of the shoulder of the vase has suffered abrasion, it is pos-
sible the animal there had an ear ; in that case one hare was probably
intended, but split in half, and each side aiTanged symmetrically at
each end of the palmette scroll.
Fig. 89. (Drawing on Plate LXIV. 12.) Height, 0.044 m. Neck and
handle missing. Yellow clay, with dark brown and reddish brown deco-
ration, very brilliant. On base of handle, traces of a zigzag with small
lozenges as ornaments in field. On shoulder, leaf rosette ; on body, two
friezes. Main frieze : panther, owl, panther and boar. Dotted rosettes,
halved lozenges, and what may be a scorpion or a lizard,^ as ornaments in
field. Lower frieze : three dogs to right, with a single dotted rosette
separating two of them. On base, rays. Incised lines used on all the figures.
In this vase we have an example of the latter period of Class III., but
Fig. 89.
there are no striking features. The drawing is fair, especially good in the case of the boar.

The

owl belongs more properly to the Corinthian style ; its presence here (I do not know of its occur-
rence on any other Argive vase) is a point in favor of its later origin.
Plate LXIV. 9 a and b. Upper part of jug in form of a plastic male head, with the open-
ing at the back. Height, 0.036 m. Dark reddish clay, with a pale yellow slip, red color applied.
Hair, eyes, and beard expressed by incised lines. Through the head is a hole for suspension.
Tiie type of face resembles slightly that on the figures of the Mycenaean ' warrior ' vase. At
the same time the applied color, use of incised lines, etc., show plainly that the vase belongs to the
later Argive period. What the form of the vase was is uncertain ; ' it may have been similar to a
jug from Cyprus {Berl. Cat. 72 : Baumeister, BenL p. 1951, fig. 2081). At all events, it is prob-
ably considerably earlier than the following vase.
Plate LXIV. 10 a and b. Height, 0.024 m. ; diameter, 0.026 m. Top of lekythos. Greenish
clay. Neck in form of three plastic female heads, with long hair, colored black, red, and blue
respectively. On rim (badly broken), three borders of rays, pot-hooks, and wave pattern.
This fragment is the most perfect of any fragments of this period, and it is fair to assume that
the remainder of the vase would vie with the best specimens of the style in point of execution.
That this fragment belongs to an Argive lekythos seems probable, in view of the ornamentation
of the rim.
The making of vases in ' Anthropomorphic ' form is no new feature in Greek art, but the in-
stances of it in the Argive style are rare. Somewhat allied to it is the Macmillan lekythos, though
the top of that vase takes the form of a lion's head. The use of a human head (generally a
female) on the rims of skyphoi or tops of pyxides of the Corinthian style is well known ; this
feature in the Argive style must mark the last stage of Class HI.
21. (Plate LIX.) Fragment of lekythos, form a trifle more rounded than is usual. Light
greenish clay, black decoration. Warrior, head and fore leg of horse, with a crossed lozenge as
ornament in field.
This fragment is curious in design and differs from the usual treatment. The silver situla^ in
Florence, a Phoenician or Etruscan work of the latter part of the seventh century, presents a sim-
ilarity, which is so strongly marked as to afford grounds for deriving both from some common
influence, though what that influence was cannot be determined with certainty. The warrior on
our fragment wears a helmet, shield, and sword quite in the manner of his fellow on the situla.
The arrangement of the bridle is curious, and I have been unable to find any analogous instance.
The shield device is paralleled by some of our Geometric gems, and may point to our fragment as
belonging to the elder period of Class III.
The vases just considered are the best examples of the lekythoi belonging to Class III.
that the Heraeum yielded. The other vases and fragments did not differ materially from
the types already discussed. Several of the lekythoi partially whole showed a double
frieze of animals on the body, though a few fragments showed the animal frieze on the
shoulder as well. One fragment had a broad border on the body left in the natural
color of the clay, with a pomegranate chain on the shoulder somewhat after the Cyrenaic
style. Several fragments showed the heads of sphinxes, a creature not as usual in the
Argive style as in the Corinthian. As a whole these lekythoi are not superior to the
types found in other parts of Greece.
Oinochoai.
The fragments of oinochoai were more numerous than those of the lekythoi, but the
number of oinochoai preserved whole or partially was small. The technique is rather more

advanced, some of the fragments being unexcelled by any Argive vase in point of deli-
cacy and freedom of execution.
Two types may be observed.
1. Exactly similar to Type 1 on p. 128.
2. The Italo-Corinthian form (Wilisch, pi. ii. 16).
Type 1 consisted mainly of small vases, which were fairly well preserved, several vases
being more or less intact ; of Type 2 nothing but scattered fragments were found, and in
no case could any vase be reconstructed. The shape of such fragments was the only
guide in determining their form.
Type 1.
Two varieties of decoration are to be seen.
a. Upper part of body adorned with an animal frieze, the lower containing the usual line deco-
ration.
b. Body of vase entirely occupied by the animal frieze.
a.
Fragments of this type were not very common. The simplest form corresponds in
decoration to the lekythos on p. 127 (Fig. 55), having a frieze of animals (usually dogs)
of the plainest description, without mcised lines and with no ornaments in field except
occasionally a dotted rosette. Some fragments showed two friezes on the body. Where
the single frieze occurred, the lower part of the body was encircled by the usual parallel
bands, or with a ray pattern on the base separated from the animal frieze by a checkered
border or row of zigzags.
As a transitional type between a and b, a small oinochoe may be mentioned. This was
63 mm. in height, of greenish clay, and had around the base a frieze of birds with nu-
merous ornaments in field (slightly more advanced than the Geometric type), the upjjer
part of the body and neck covered with zigzags and parallel lines, all the decoration
being very much faded. Two similar instances are at Syracuse (Cases IV. and VII.;
provenience not stated), both with faded decoration ; that in Case IV. showed traces of
apphed dark red color.
b.
22. Fragment of body of oinochoe. Reddish clay. On shoulder, leaf rosette, purple applied to
the alternate petals. Main frieze : panther (head full front, body in profile) and sphinx to right
(and part of another panther). In field, rosettes, crosses, etc. On base, rays. Dark red color is
applied freely to the figures and incised lines used. Several other fragments very similar to this
were found, most of them belonging to the base and exhibiting the ray pattern, with here and there
a part of the frieze showing the foot of some animal.
23. Fragment of body of oinochoe. Greenish clay. On shoulder, leaf rosette, with alternate
petals in applied purple. Main frieze : panther and sphinx to right facing another sphinx whose
fore paws only are still visible. Rosettes, rhomboids, circles, etc., as ornaments in field. Around
base, row of dots. Dark red color and incised lines used freely on all the figures.
A few fragments of necks were found which showed traces of an animal frieze, in addition to the
usual Geometric designs.
Type, 2.
It is to be reo-retted that this class, which contains some of the finest specimens of the
Argive style, should be represented only by scattered fragments. It may easily be seen
that such fragments as are here presented stand in a close relation to the Corinthian style,
but are vastly better in technique.
150 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Only a few of the fragments are here presented, the others showing merely parts of
legs, arms, ornaments in field, etc. A few fragments seemed to belong to an older type
in that the body of the vase was taken u}) by two, sometimes three friezes, without
incised lines. These were distinctly inferior in technique and included figvires of sirens
as well as sphinxes and panthers. Dark red color was applied but sparingly. Ornaments
in field were not very numerous, though one fragment showed the entire background
covered with small dots.
The size of the vases to which these fragments belong cannot be estimated.
24 a and b. Two fragments of an oinochoe. Yellowish clay with a reddish tinge, lustrous black
decoration. On base rays, and above an animal frieze. On a rear part of horse and goat back to
back ; on b a goat to right. Technique excellent, with free use of incised lines ; no ornaments in
field.
25 a-e. Five fragments of an oinochoe. Yellow clay, with lustrous black decoration. Eay pat-
tern on base, with a narrow rosette border above, separating it from two friezes of animals and men,
with rosettes in field. Incised lines freely used and dark red (now turned brown) applied to the
figures. Technique excellent.
How the friezes were represented is difficult to say ; a and b show a warrior to right holding a
sword in his right hand, a spear in his left hand, and c the head of some animal (perhaps a deer)
below and the legs of another above. Perhaps a hunt of some sort may have been represented.
Whether the bird on e formed part of another frieze or is merely an ornament in field is difficult
to say ; the latter supposition seems more probable. That a and b belong to the same figure seems
probable, though certainty is impossible, there being no point of contact between the two frag-
ments.
Plate LXV. 2 a-c. Three fragments of an oinochoe. Greenish clay. Free use of incised lines
and dark red color applied freely.
a. Lower part of fragment is covered with a black glaze, on which are five parallel lines, two of
yellow inclosing three of red. Above, on a whitish yellow ground (left white in the plate), the body
and legs of a panther to left and the muzzle and fore leg of a deer, the figures being drawn in black.
b. From same frieze. Head and shoulders of a stag feeding to left,^ with traces of a rosette
(alternate dots in red) in field.
c. Above, in whitish yellow on a black ground, fore legs and part of hind paw of a panther to
left. Below, on a whitish yellow ground, head of panther to right and rosettes in field. Red on
rosettes and panther's head.
The true arrangement of these fragments is doubtful ; it seems probable that the base of the
oinochoe (represented by a) was covered entirely with a black glaze, with two friezes above, the
lower white, the upper black, and that the rest of the surface was entirely covered by a black
glaze. The legs of the panther on c are in the same color as the white ground of the vase.
These fragments, which are extremely fine in their execution, differ materially from other vases
of the Argive or Corinthian style in the employment of two distinct backgrounds on the same
vase, and suggests in a way the emj)loyment of two separate technical methods, such as we might
expect to find in Asia Minor, and do find on sarcophagi from Clazomenae. In spite of the
i-esemblance of an Aeolian oinochoe^ to our vase, distinct technical differences exist. The white
panther on the black ground is not drawn in incised lines (which are used to express details oidy),
but the white paint has been applied over the black glaze, probably after the first firing. In that
case the whole surface of the. vase received its black glaze and black figures first, with the later
addition of white figures painted on the black. It recalls in a measure that class of vases which
combine both the black and red figure technique, where one figure is drawn in an incised outline
and another painted in white with incised lines used to express details. But any actual connection
between such vases and our fragments is not to be thought of. Also in spite of the very unusual

vase painting. Cf. B. C. H. XXII. (1898), p. 441.
THE ARGIVE STYLE: SKYPHOI 151
teclmique shown by our fragjuents, the style of drawiug is so unmistakably Argive that no doubts
can be aroused against their position in Class III.
As these were the only fragments found which show this pecuHar double technique,
speculation as to the influence which produced them seems futile. I should feel inclined
to follow Boehlau's lead in sup})osing that the Aeolian ware was responsible, seeing that
the relation between that and the Argive Class IIT. is very close. Whether any Rho-
dian influence (cf. J. II. S. VI. [1885], p. 184) was here at work is extremely doubtful.
Skyphoi.
Fragments and vases of this form Were the most numerous in Class III. The ma-
jority of the fragments belong to large vases and show a style fairly advanced. Being
more fragile than lekythoi, very few specimens were recovered unbroken. The form of
the skyphos is the same throughout, the only variation being in the size of the vase. As
in the case of the shapes just discussed, many fragments show an entire lack of incised
lines and probably belong to an older class. The greater number, however, have incised
lines, with purple, yellow, and red color freely applied. As a rule the bases are orna-
mented with a ray pattern, or parallel bands, the rest of the body being occupied by the
main frieze of animals.
The rim is usually bordered by a Geometric pattern of some sort, occasionally by a
second frieze of animals, narrower than the main frieze. The interior is always glazed
red or black.
26. (Plate LIX.) Greenish clay, with black glaze on interior, nearly worn off. Ray pattern
on base and frieze of sirens ; separated by a checkered band, what appears to be a second naiTower
frieze as a rim border.
27. (Plate LIX.) Greenish clay, with dull black glaze on interior. Rays on base and animal
frieze (cow). Cross as ornament in field.
This fragment is chiefly remarkable for the fact that it is the only fragment found at the
Heraeum on which a cow is represented ; this, in view of the close mythological connection
between the animal and the goddess Hera, is rather surprising.
Fig. 90. Heio-ht, 0.047 m. ; diameter, 0.0G6 m. Upper part with handles restored. Reddish
yellow clay, with flaky black glaze on interior, decoration in
dark brown. Frieze around base of panther and three other
animals (perhaps deer) upside down. Poor execution.
It is probable that two friezes were represented. For dis-
cussion of the inverted fi-ieze, v. Fig. 91.
The fragments just discussed probably belong to the
earlier period. Fig. 90 is certauily very much akin to
the lekythoi on p. 127, and may mark the transition
stage between skyphoi of Classes II. and III. The
other fragments, which were quite numerous, do not dif-
fer materially from the usual types. The drawing of the
animals was distinctly poor; dogs and panthers were
chiefly represented.
Fig. 91. Height, 0.057 m. ; diameter, 0.061 m. From Old
Temple Terrace. Yellowish clay, with dull black glaze on in-
terior, decoration in black and red. Main frieze (upside down) p^^ gj
on base ; three figures, man shooting an arrow at a deer to left,
behind the man a lion with open mouth. Separated by a broad band is a narrow border on the
rim with two vertical dashes on each side. Figures in dark red, incised lines used.
152 THE VASES AND VASE FKA(iMENTS
Fig. 91 forms a companion piece to Fig. 90 .save for the use of incised lines. Throup^h its i)rimi-
tive execution it probably belonj^s to the early period of Class III. But the chief peculiarity of
the two vases lies in the subject being drawn upside down.
This peculiarity is extremely rare in vase painting. We have already seen it in the
case of the Mycenaean jug, Fig. 20, making three from tlie Heraeum. I have been able
to find but one similar instance anywhere else, a small skyphos at Syracuse {An-)i. dell'
Inst. 1877, tav. d 'agg. C D 4, p. 47, No. 13), on which is a frieze of water birds, the
subject being inverted in the same manner. What the object was in doing this is
decidedly obscure ; it can hardly have been accidental.
Several vases of the type found at Syracuse {JVot. d. Scav. 1893, p. 457, right-hand
figure) were represented either whole or in fragments, their execution being decidedly
hasty. Several fragments were found where two friezes were represented, separated by a
checkered band, while a large number belonged to very small skyphoi with a single frieze
and a border of zigzags along the rim.
The fragments of skyphoi which belong to the best period of Class III. are rather
larger in size than those just described. All employ the incised line.
PLATE LIX.
28. Fragment of large skyphos of dark red clay, with dark brown glaze on interior. Dark
brown decoration. On base, rays : above, frieze of animals (panther).
This fragment, though inferior in technique, bears a close relation to the skyphos from Aegina
(Pallat, loo. cit. pi. vii.). The drawing of the panthei', however, is firm and decided, if conventional.
The field is divided by an arrangement of vertical lines, curved and straight, similar to that found
on the neck of an oinochoe from Aegina (Pallat, loc. cit. p. 271, lig. 6).
29. Fragment of a large skyphos, of which several other fragments were found. Reddish clay,
with black glaze burnt red in parts, on interior. Main frieze : head of panther and hind quarter of
horse to right. Double lozenge in field. Above, smaller frieze as a rim border, dog to left ; field
divided by a Geometric triangle scheme.
Although no fragments of the base were found, it seems probable that the base had the usual
decoration of rays, with the main frieze directly above them. Several dozen fragments belonging
to equally large skyphoi were found.
30 a and b. Two fragments from a large skyphos. Dark yellow clay, with brilliant black
glaze on interior ; also on interior, just below rim, three stripes in applied color, the upper two white,
the lower red. Exterior : on rim, border of water birds with sigmas in field. Main frieze :
a, wings, head, and hind quarters of a gryphon ; b, rear part of a bird or a siren, with the back of
a crouching sphinx. Below, upper part of an animal belonging to a second frieze. Red is applied
freely on all the figures. Rosettes, sigmas, etc., as ornaments in field. Several other smaller frag-
ments were found.
That three friezes were represented on this skyphos is evident, though their arrangement cannot
be discovered. One fragment showed the back of a boar and another a helmet with a flying bird
over it. Whether a boar hunt was represented is doubtful ; probably both the main friezes were
occupied by the usual series of animals, sphinxes, gryphons, etc., a male figure (with a helmet)
being introduced among them.^
The style of the fragments represents the best period of the Argive ware. The border of water
birds, so common in the earlier period, is here treated very freely and as carefully as the main
friezes.
A dozen other fragments, from as many different vases, were found, which were very
similar in technique to 30.
31. Fragment of skyphos. Yellow clay, with bright red decoration. On interior black glaze,
' 111 similar fashion to the Argive lekythos in Boston, A. J. A. 1900, pi. v.

burnt red in parts. On base, ray pattern. Above, two friezes. Lower frieze, dog to right ; upper
frieze, panther to left. Reversed sigma in field. Red applied on dog's shoulder and belly of
panther.
32. Fragment of small skyphos of coarse dark red clay. Rays on base and fi-ieze above, part
of goat and tail of a bird or siren. Free use of ineised lines.
Several other fragments of this particular skyphos were found, showing that one frieze only was
represented. The style of this fragment is most distinctly transitional from the Argive to the
Corinthian, and is similar to a fragment found at Aegina (Pallat, loc. cit. p. 319, fig. 37). This
pro-Corinthian type was common at the Heraeum, fragments of this kind filling half a basket.
Most of the fragments belonged to bases, and were of a grayisli or greenish clay, with a pattern of
fine rays on the base and a frieze above ; the technique was extremely poor.
Platp: LXV. 3. Fragment of small skyphos. Fine greenish yellow clay, with black glaze on
interior almost entirely obliterated. Heads of two lions facing each other, drawn in black and
red lines.
This fragment for fineness and delicacy of execution is equaled only by the best Attic red-figure
work. The lines of the figures stand out from the surface of the clay as in Attic work, but the
style and the use of the red line are most distinctly un- Attic ; in fact, we have here a fragment of
the Argive style in its most advanced stage and far superior to any Corinthian work. No other
fragment belonging to this vase was found, and its shape is only established by the presence of a
glaze on the back. Although this would argue also for a pyxis, the slight upward curve of the
fragment makes a skyphos more probable.
Pyxides.
Except for the covers, practically none of these vases were found. One fragment of
a pyxis showed two goats facing each other, but the lack of ornaments in field as well
as the style would seem to assign it to the later period of Class II. The large pyxis on
p. 137 may well be a transitional type from Class II. to Class III.
The same proportion between the pyxides and their covers, which we have already
mentioned, held good in the case of Class III., as the covers were quite numerous, while
hardly any pyxides themselves were found. The subject on all was the same, a frieze
of animals on the outside, with or without ornaments in field, and rays radiating from
the centre. The two best examples are given below.
33. Fragment of cover. Polished yellow clay, with dark brown decoration. In centre, rays ;
animal frieze, panther and part of another to right. Careful drawing, free use of incised lines.
34. Yellowish clay. In centre, rays; animal frieze, panther to left with rosettes in field.
Checkered border. Decoration in black with red applied to panther's neck and belly. Incised
lines freely used.
This is one of the best specimens of drawing. It is worth noting, as a curious fact,
that the left-hand part of the fragment was picked up at the Heraeum by Dr. Olcott of
the American School at Rome, in the spring of 1898, three years after the completion
of the excavation, and on being brought to Athens was found to fit with a fragment
excavated four years before.
A small cover was found with a single zone of figures precisely similar to those on an
aryballos from Orchomeuos {B. C. H. XIX. [1895], p. 196, fig. 18).
Jugs (^Kaiinen).
Whether the following fragments are to be included under this head is doubtfid, but
as it does not seem possible to class them as lekythoi or oinochoai, the jug seems the
only possible form. It is probable that the form of Plate LXVI. 3 corresponds more
closely to jugs of the Phaleron type, and if a trefoil lip be assumed, it should by rights
154 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
be classed anionof the oinochoai. No trace, however, of a neck was found, so that the
point must remain doubtful.
Plate LXVI. 3. Two fragments from one-handled jug, similar in form, j)erl]a))s, to one
from Megara Hyblaea (^Mon. Ant. I. p. 811). Dark brownish yellow clay, with fine polished sur-
face. Decoi-ation from black to reddish brown. On base, rays. Main frieze : two sphinxes (back
of liead and fore legs of right-hand figure, lower legs of left-hand figure missing) facing each
other, with an elaborate scroll pattern between them. On the left, tail of an animal (probably a
goat ) ; and on the right, body and legs of another goat. Crosses and rosettes as ornaments in field.
On slioulder, rays (of interlacing lines) alternating with jwt-hooks. Incised lines freely used, and
the wings of the sphinxes are treated alternately in black and natural clay divisions, the latter
ornamented with dots ; the leaves of the palmette scroll are treated in sinular fashion. The glaze
on the body of the right-hand animal and on the right hind leg of the right-hand sphinx is badly
worn.
A certain similarity may be found on a fragment from Athens,^ which is certainly not Early
Attic and is declared by Pernice to be Boeotian. Thei-e two friezes of figures are represented,
sphinxes above and deer below. The figures show a very elementary use of the incised line and
are distinctly more primitive in treatment than the figures on our fragment.
In spite of an apparent similarity, the styles of the two fragments differ considerably. That our
fragments are distinctly Argive I see no reason to doubt. The drawing is precisely the same as
that already seen on our best fragments, and the use of the incised lines shows a very advanced
technical skill. The ornaments in the field are treated elaborately, but are relegated to a very
minor position (except the palmette scroll).
The treatment of the wings on the sphinxes is extremely curious, and I have been unable to
find any similar case ; ^ it differs materially from the Athens fragment. A vase in the British
Museum (A 1323) shows the same arrangement of hair,^ which is gathered in a heavy mass
behind, with incised divisions (as in the case of the Tenean Apollo) and little locks over the fore-
head. The right-hand animal shows no new peculiarity.
So little of the palmette scroll is left that its reconstruction is doubtful. It is certain that four
spirals and three palmettes were represented,* but whether it ended at the bottom in a palmette
similar to that on the top cannot be said. Judging by the palmette scroll on the amphora from
Melos (Rayet and Coll. Hist. pi. ii.), it seems more probable that the scroll here was represented in
similar fashion, with four spirals arranged in cross fashion and a palmette on four sides between
each spiral.
35. Fragment. Greenish yellow clay, with black decoration. Incised lines freely^ used. Two
horses' heads to right, evidently part of a biga. Good technique.
It is doubtful what the form of the whole vase was. The heads are drawn in too large a scale
for a lekythos, and as no trace of a glaze can be found on the interior it cannot have belonged to a
skyphos. The curve of the fragment seems best suited to a small jug, similar in shape to Fig. 86.
The bridle of the horses seems to be the same as that on Plate LIX. 21.
Plates.
Fragments of plates of the Oriental Argive style were very scarce, hardly more than
half a dozen being found.
36 a and b. Two fragments of a plate, diameter uncertain. Reddish yellow clay, with black
decoration on one side, burnt red on the other. The subject on both sides is the same, — a frieze
of panthers, one crouching. The technique of the obverse is better than that of the reverse, the
drawing being more careful.
We see from a that the centre was occupied by a star pattern, but what the outer border of the
frieze was cannot be told.

"^ The pinax from Rhodes (fi. C. H. XIX. [1895], p. 74, * Cf. Jahrb. II. (1887), p. 57, fig. 23.

THE ARGIVE STYLE: ALABASTRA AND ARYHALLOI 155
Alabaxtrii.
That the alabastron had its origin during this period and not during the Corinthian
seems fairly evident. What caused its growth is a matter of doubt. It is possible that
it may have developed from the lekythos, since the alabastron resembles strongly a leky-
thos minus a neck and handle, turned upside down. The fragments of this shape were
very numerous, especially those with a scale pattern, but few were preserved whole.
Two types are represented.
1. Form Bcrl. Cat. v. 109, without foot.
2. Form Pettier, Vases du Louvre, pi. 41 E 423, with foot.
Type 1.
Three varieties of ornamentation are seen.
a. Simple linear decoration. Leaf rosette around neck and base, bands, checkered bands on
body. Red lines applied freely. Cf. Pettier, Vases, pi. xxxix. E 32.
b. Same decoration except for addition of one animal frieze, sometimes more, around the base.'
Incised lines are not used on the animals at all. The fragments were numerous, and one vase
(height, 0.074 m.) was preserved almost complete.
C. Body of vase almost entirely covered with a scale pattern, large or small, as in Pettier, Vases,
pi. xxxix. E 309, 319. A red dot is applied to alternate scales. This is the commonest type, half
a dozen vases being found intact and numerous fragments.
The animal frieze occasionally occurs together with the scale pattern.
Type 2.
Only a few scattered fragments of this type were preserved. Half of one vase was
preserved with three animal friezes, very roughly drawn, no incised lines being used.
Aryballo'i.
Although the aryballos is a thoroughly characteristic shape of the Corinthian style, a
number of them were found at the Heraeum which differed entirely from the Corinthian
aryballi in point of technique and had a decoration purely linear in character. This would
seem to warrant their belonging to the Argive period, towards the beginning of Class III.
All show the use of applied color in an advanced stage, and this, together with the form, is
more in favor of their connection with the later period of the Argive style than the earlier.
The earliest instance seems to be an aryballos of coarse red clay, with black glaze on
the shoulder. The rest of the vase is entirely covered with a white wash, almost entirely
worn away, with no traces of other decoration. No case of this peculiarity can be found
in Corinthian vases ; we have already seen it on Mycenaean vases. Cf . p. 93.
Fig. 92. Height, 0.07 m. Neck and handle restored. Black glaze over all, burnt red in places.
On body broad band of dark red color applied, bounded above and below by
two narrow bands inclosing row of dots applied in white.
This type seems fairly common. There are similar examples in
the British Museum (A 1028, from Kameiros), Naples (Rac. Cum.),
and three at Syracuse from Megara Hyblaea (Tombs 784, 941, 980).
Other vases showed either a single broad band of applied red, or a
red band with a smaller white band on each side. One fragment was
found of an aryballos which was divided by incised lines with gore- ^^^^ ^
shaped divisions (like a child's leather ball), the gores being colored
alternately red, yellow, and black.
Specimens precisely similar are in the British Museum (A 1027, 1031).

156 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMP^NTS
NOTE ON THE USE OF APPLIED COLOR IN THE MYCENAEAN, GEOMETRIC, AND
ARGIVE STYLES.
During the last three chapters, repeated instances of vases having various colors ap])lie(l
to tiieir surfaces have been mentioned, and as this feature is such a prominent one on the
Heraeum vases and so common during the succeeding vase classes, Corinthian, Rhodian,
etc., it seems proper at this point to discuss it briefly.
For this technique no satisfactory term exists. Cecil Smith (-/. H. S. VI. [1885],
p. 184) uses the term " Dorian " and distinguishes between an " Orienfcil " style, i. e. the
use of incised lines and ajjplied purple or red color, and the " Dorian " style, or silhouette
drawing with details in white, a feature common on much of the late seventh century
polychrome work in Rhodes and Asia Minor. It is, however, perfectly certain that ap-
plied color was used by potters of the Mycenaean age, and even earlier, since the pre-
Mycenaean ware found by Flinders Petrie in Egypt [J. II. S. X. [1890], pi. xiv. p. 271)
shows the same polychrome decoration, so common on Egyptian wall-paintings, applied
to the vases themselves. Crete {Mon. Ant. VI. pis. ix. and x.) has also produced a large
amount of similar ware which belongs to the early part of the Mycenaean period. Dur-
ing the Mycenaean period in the Argolid its use would seem to have been fairly common,
since at the Heraeum we find it on fragments of both the dull and lustrous styles, and
Furtwiingler and Loeschcke's Class I. (lustrous finish) also shows that it was extensively
employed. During the Geometi'ic and Argive styles at the Heraeum we find it very
frequently, though it does not seem to have been in general use until the rise of the
Oriental influence in Greece. All these facts would seem to show that this technique did
not owe its origin to the bright-colored fabrics of Asia Minor (especially Samos), though
they were, very probably, instrumental in promoting its growth on Greek soil, and also
that the term " Dorian " is hardly accurate or comprehensive enough, since the origin of
the technique must be looked for long before the Dorian invasion, or, if that event be
denied, before the end of the Mycenaean period.
As a regular sequence of this technique has not been found (so far as I know) outside
of the Argolid, it may perhaps have been a peculiar feature of the pottery made hi that
locality ; since, however, it is a purely accessory feature it can hardly stand by itself as a
separate entity, and the fragments which show its use are not to be separated from
the regular vase-classes to which they belong.
During the Mycenaean period at the Heraeum, only a few fragments of the dull
finish, and of Class III. lustrous finish, show this technique. It is fairly common on
fragments of the Geometric and Argive (Class II.) styles, while with Class III. of the
Argive through the Corinthian style it seems to be an integral part of the decoration.
On Plate LX. the most representative fragments only are g^ven, following the
chronological order of the preceding chapters.
MYCENAEAN.
Didl Finish.
Only one fragment (Plate LI. 7, p. 13) showed the application of dark red color.
PLATE LX.
Lustrous Finish, Class III.
1. Fine dark red clay, exterior entirely covered with a brilliant dark brown glaze, on wliieii is a
spiral in white ; careful technique ; the fraguient belongs to III. 1.
APPLIED COLOR IN CERTAIN STYLES 157
2. Coarser yellowish clay, similar technique. Two circles with a dotted border inside ; or pos-
sibly the heads of a luurex pattern.
3. Fine brick red clay, black glaze on exterior, dark brown on interior. Upper part of pal-
mette pattern applied in yellow.
These were the only Mycenaean fragments ])ossessing any interest. Several others
were found showing traces of white or yellow paint.
GEOMETRIC.
The number of Geometric fragments that show this use of applied color was quite
large, filling nearly a basket. All such fragments invariably belong to the earlier
period of the style rather than the later ; i. e. their decoration (apart from their poly-
chrome feature) is purely Geometric or linear, and in no case of a later Geometric
fragment representing animals or genre scenes did this technique occur. Outside of the
Argolid this technique is seldom found ; as far as I can discover, only a few scattered
Dipylon vases in Athens show it at all.
4. Fragment of an amphora probably. Yellow clay, with a broad glazed band of dark red
covering the rim on the interior, over which two thin white stripes are applied. On exterior, dark
brown glaze. Design applied in white ; on rim, zigzag ; on body, series of zigzags in a panel
bounded by vertical and horizontal lines. On base, rays.
5. Dark red clay, burnt gray on exterior. Dark red glaze on inside, dull black outside, with
design in white, dotted rosette above, and zigzag between horizontal stripes. Several other frag-
ments of this vase were found, also fragments representing half a dozen other vases of similar
technique.
6. Red clay, black glaze on interior ; reddish glaze on exterior and design in yellow, horizontal
stripes and a border inclosing a " Running Dog " pattern. The color is applied thickly.
7. Red clay, with dark brown decoration. On upper border, a dotted lozenge chain applied in
yellow.
8. Fragment of foot of large vase, shape uncertain. Red clay, with red glaze on exterior.
Moulding on base. Broad meander pattern applied in yellow, bounded by broad stripes of yellow
and narrower ones of red. Careful technique.
Plate LXVI. 1. Dark gray clay, with dark brown glaze on exterior. Meander pattern
applied in red, with yellow border. Above, broad stripe of red. Several other fragments of this
vase were found. Another fragment had a similar meander in yellow, bordered by red and white
stripes.
2. Fragment of a vase with wide opening. Yellow clay, with black glaze on exterior. Broad
band of yellow, with red border lines. On the yellow band a simple meander in red, with splashes
of yellow in the interstices. Fragments of the rim were found which showed identically the same
decoration on the lip.
The bulk of the fragments belonged to the rims of large bowls, having a flat surface
on the top, and covered with a black or dark brown glaze on which broad bands of red,
yellow, or white were applied. On these in turn was a pattern, usually a meander hi
red or yellow.
Taking the Geometric fragments of the Heraeum as a whole, the use of applied color
seems to have been occasional rather than usual, and in only a few cases (most of them
have been given above) does it form an important part of the decoration.
ARGIVE.
The number of Argive fragments which show the use of applied color is innumerable.
In the majority of the Argive vases already discussed the slender band of red or yellow
158 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
is extremely common, but is used mainly <as an ornamental accessory. The vases where
the only decoration consisted of applied color are not very numerous in proportion to
the rest.
No fragments belonging to Class I. showed this technique. In Class II. the frag-
ments were much more numerous ; in Class III. the use of applied color is so universal
as an accessory ornament that few attempts were made to employ it as the only deco-
ration.
9. Fragment of skyphos. Reddish clay, with a brilliant brown glaze, burnt red on interior, on
both sides. Yellow stripe on interior just below rim. Design in yellowish white ; double panel
inclosing double circles. Technique very good.
10. Fragment of skyphos. Dirty yellow clay, with dull black glaze on both sides. Double
triangles in yellowish white laid on thinly, above a horizontal stripe. This motive is identical
with that already seen on the necks of the oinochoai.
Two fragments of a skyphos exactly similar to those from Aegina (Pallat, loc. cit.
p. 277, fig. 9) and Eleusis ('E<^7;/a. 'Apx- 1898, pi. ii. 3, p. 115) were found.
11. Fragment of oinochoe. Bright yellow clay, with brown glaze exterior. Parallel bands
inclosing zigzag in whitish yellow.
Three more fragments of this vase were found and about a dozen other fragments
from similar vases, with identical decoration. Fragments of necks were more common,
one almost entire, but showing the same motive of zigzags. Cf. neck of oinochoe on
!Plate LIX. 8, which belongs here.
The following fragments belong to Class III. : —
12. Fragment of large skyphos. Dark reddish clay, with black glaze on exterior. Between two
broad bands of red a palmette in incised lines. The motive resembles strongly those found on
some of our bronze fragments.
13. Fragment of oinochoe or lekythos. Fine yellow clay, dull black glaze on exterior. Lotos
palmette in whitish yellow, with incised lines. Below, four stripes, the outer white, the inner red.
14. Fragment of bowl. Yellow clay, with red brown decoration. On exterior, rays (red applied)
and a horizontal guilloche. On interior, meander pattern with fragmentary applications of yellow,
and a wave pattern around the centre.
Besides the fragments already mentioned, several dozen were found which belong to
rather large skyphoi, 10-15 cm. in height, of a dark red or yellow clay, the exterior only
being covered with a duU dark red glaze. On the shoulder and rim is the only decora-
tion, consisting invariably of two or three parallel stripes of applied red, bordered above
and below by a white or yellow stripe.
A class of fragments similar in technique to the Attic black- and red-figured styles
will be discussed in Chapter VII.
POLYCHROME VASES, OR DECORATION ON A WHITE GROUND.
Before leaving the subject of the use of applied color, a few fragments merit atten-
tion. These showed the so-called ' polychrome ' technique, having a whitish yellow
background on which the design is applied. These fragments were not very numerous,
not more than a dozen being found.
Plate LXV. 4. Saucer, one side broken. Diameter, 0.058 m. ; height, 0.017 m. Dark reddish
clay, exterior covered with a white wash, mostly worn off. Same on interior, with a red band on
rim and a lead-colored band below ; aroimd central boss a rosette in red, with lead-colored lines in
the loops.
MISCELLANEOUS TYPES 159
This saucer belongs to the series already discussed on p. 125, and is perhaps the earliest Argive
vase at the lleraeum which shows this ' polychrome ' technique.
PLATE LX.
15. Fragment of plate. YeUovv clay, with a black glaze on exterior, over which are parallel
stripes of white inclosing a row of dots. On interior, over a whitish yellow wash, a palmette, alter-
nate leaves black, with white dots. Incised lines. This fragment belongs to Class III., and is
similar in point of decoration to 16. 15 shows some similarity to Naukratis ware, but there is
nothing to justify its being considered as belonging to that style.
16. Fragment of plate. Dark red clay, covered with a whitish yellow slip. On exterior frieze
of animals, with tongue pattern on rim. On interior, frieze of geese in black, red (faded) ap-
plied to bodies, with zigzag band below. On rim, tongue ))attern, red applied to each tongue.
CHAPTER V.
MISCELLANEOUS TYPES.
Before proceeding to the discussion of the Corinthian style proper, it seems best to
introduce a chapter on certain vases and fragments, which, though allied to the two great
vase-classes just discussed, yet stand apart by themselves on account of certain peculiar
features both of clay and design.
It is difficult to decide on a proper term for these vases. That they were imported
into Argos is possible but improbable, seeing that foreign-made vases are extremely
scarce at the Heraeum. Moreover, it is more difficult to find analogies for them outside
of Argos than at the Heraeum itself, though even there such analogies are extremely
rare. The most probable explanation is, that all of them are experiments in the mak-
ing of certain types, which 'were not continued ; this alone will account for the wide
difference that exists between them and the other Heraeum vases, not to speak of foi--
eign vase-classes.
The vases and fragments represented here fall, rouglUy speaking, in the eighth cen-
tury, though a few may be dated a few years later than b. c. 700. Some are equally
related to both the Argive and Geometric styles ; others again resemble more nearly
purely foreign styles hke the ' Island ' types, Melian, Rhodian, etc.

160 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
This oinochoe is by f:ir the most peculiar vase that the Ileraeuin yielded, and is remarkable for
its technical features as well as its decoration. The form seems to be a cross between the two
Argive oinochoai already discussed (Figs. 56 and 57 ).
Technique. The clay resembles more closely that used in vases of the Geometric style than in
the Argive. The addition of the white dots in such numbers is peculiar but not unique, as it was
found on several other Heraeum fragments, and a few vases outside of the Argolid.^ It is certain,
however, from Mycenaean fragments, that it was a common feature in the Argolid from the earli-
est times.
Decoration. This oinochoe differs from all the other Argive types in having an animal frieze
on the neck, while the body is covered with the ordinai-y Geometrical motives.
In spite of the Geometrical motives on the body of the vase, it may be safely asserted that our
oinochoe does not belong to the Geometric style, since the pecvdiar white dots never occur, so far
as I know, on purely Geometric vases, nor has the style of the lions any connection with the lions
on Geometric vases.^ A closer connection seems afforded by the Phaleron jugs, since there we find
the same employment of white dots, as well as the use of the neck for the main frieze. But the
presence of the Geometric snake on the shoulder is against any such connection, since, as far as I
know, that motive never occurs on any jug of the Phaleron type, nor has the style of our oinochoe
anything in common with them. The Gamedes oinochoe is clearly of a later date than ours, and
cannot therefore serve as a criterion for any doubtful point.
That our vase is of native workmanship seems to me extremely probable. The presence of the
white dots on a few foreign-made vases is offset by the presence of fragments from as many vases
at the Heraeum, and the use of the neck in the Phaleron jugs for the principal frieze is not a com-
mon peculiarity. Moreover, the style of our vase is earlier, if anything, than that of the Phaleron
jugs, and would seem rather to point to an Argive influence on that class of vases (as was already
suggested) than vice-versa. We have seen already how common the use of applied color was in
all vases manufactured in the Argolid from the Mycenaean times downwards, so that this feature
cannot be considered as lacking parallels in that place.
The date of our oinochoe must fall during the period of Argive Class II. The snakes and the
other Geometi'ic motives make this probable. Moreover, there seems to be no reason for seeing
any trace of Oriental influence here ; the lions have nothing in common with the type of lion in
Class III., and the lack of incised lines is in favor of an early date, probably about the middle of
the eighth century.
The combination of the lion and snake in pairs is extremely curious ; 1 have been unable to find
any similar instance. That a lion was intended is evident, though the prancing monster is more
like the creation of a nightmare than the noble monarch of the desert. The presence of the lions
is interesting, as they are not represented fighting, but as a purely ornamental feature. This
would seem to be one of the earliest instances of the animal frieze, and would show that if not
commonly employed, it was at least known to the vase-painter before the spread of Oriental influ-
ence in Greece, and need not be considered as a purely Eastern innovation.

yellow slip. Decoration varying from black to red. Around interior of rim, band of black glaze.
White dots applied to all the decoration.

b. Scroll ending at each end in a trefoil. Base of handle preserved.
Fig. 94 shows the restoration of the design. The form is not absolutely certain, nor oan the
height be determined, though, judging from the size of the fragments,
the vase must have measured about 30 cm. in height. It seems fairly
certain, however, that no other decoration existed on the vase unless we
suppose a similar design on the reverse and that the restoration here
given is correct.
The technique is precisely similar to Fig. 93, and as the resemblance
between the lions is so strong we may almost assume that both vases
were painted by the same artist. The scrolls which bound the panels
are interesting, and so far a similar case does not occur to me. There is
a certain resemblance between tlie trefoils and the ivy leaf on Myce-
naean vases (cf. Myh. Vas. xxi. 152; also J. H. S. XI. [1890], pi.
xiv. 1), but whether the trefoils represent a development of the latter
. , , n ^ Fig. 94.
cannot be tokl.
18. Fragment of a large vase, perhaps an amphora. Dark reddish clay, exterior covered with
a dull dark brown glaze. Broad band of white with, a row of small dots on each side.
This fragment, though differing considerably from the two vases just considered, has been
included here on account of the presence of the white dots. It presents this peculiarity that the
broad band of white is not painted over the glaze, since no trace of glaze can be found under it.
The clay is coarse and more akin in texture to vases of the Geometric style, but it cannot belong
to that class, since it seems certain that the entire vase was covered with a glaze, a peculiarity
entirely foreign to Geometric vases. We have already seen this peculiarity in the case of other
Argive vases, and it is probable that we have here a fragment of a vase which belongs to the same
class as those discussed on p. 158.
PLATE LXVII.
Seven fragments from the base of a bowl with tall base. From Old Temple Terrace (proba-
bly). Height cannot be determined. The fragments have been joined together to form the base
(8). Height, 0.425 m. ; diameter at base, 0.29 m. ; diameter at toj), 0.16 m. The original vase
probably measured about 80 cm. in height.
Brick red clay, covered with a brownish yellow slip. Decoration uniformly black, with yellow
paint added freely. Incised lines used on the figures of the animals around the base.
The form of the vase was probably a large deep bowl resting on a tall base, similar to a vase in
Athens from Menidi (Jahrb. XIV. [1899], p. 108, fig. 10, or p. 126, fig. 29). Of the bowl only
a small part is preserved in fragment 3 ; all the other fragments belong to the base.
Ai-ound the base are three friezes, and a narrow frieze at the bottom of the bowl.
Base. Lower frieze (4, 6, 7). Bordei', a guilloche of black and white strands (as in Plate
LIX. 5). Separated from this by three stripes, a frieze of animals. What these animals are can-
not be determined. On 4 and 6 we have an animal crouching, with traces of what may have been
a horn on its head, and the tail of another, which projects into the frieze above. The first animal
is clearly crouching, and the body is covered with scales similar to Athen. Mitt. 1897, p. 309,
fig. 31. Incised lines on the foot, and on tail.
Separated by three stripes is another frieze, 1, 2, 4, and 5, on which a combat is represented.
Portions of eleven warriors are preserved, six to right, four to left, and a fallen warrior in the
centre.
In the centre of the frieze (4), a dying warrior to right stretching his arm behind him. His
leo- is drawn in outline, and as no filling in with black or application of yellow is seen, it seems
probable that carelessness on the artist's part was responsible for this deficiency. On his shield is
a rosette, with yellow applied to five of the lobes ; yellow is also applied to the headpiece of the
helmet. On the left are two warriors advancing to right, both armed with helmet, shield, greaves,
spears, and sword.^ Yellow is applied to the headpieces of the helmets and to the greaves. The
1 This is not absolutely certain, except in the case of the first figure, where the object is too thick to be a spear.
1G2 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
first warrior has a checkered border on his hehiiet, and a whirl pattern witii a lozenge border on
his shield : the warrior behind has a four-pointed star inclosed by a checkered border for his shield
device. Facing them to left, parts of two warriors : nose, tip of hehnet, shielil, and one leg of the
first warrior preserved, shield and one leg of the second. Yellow applied to greaves. The first
warrior is armed with a spear or sword exactly like his opponent ; on his shield, four-pointed star
with checkered border. His companion has as a shield device a rosette elaborately drawn in
black and white with a border of rays. Between the warriors, over the fallen man, a bird flying.
On fragment 2 we see the back of one warrior's helmet in black with the point of a spear, and
the helmet (in outline) and eye of another warrior, likewise the point of a spear. From a com-
parison of 5 it seems probable that the spear to the left belongs to the right-hand warrior and
the spear at the right to another not preserved. On the right of 1 again we see the trace of
another helmet (checkered border) projecting into the pattern above.
On 5 we have three warriors ; the one at the left resembles the foremost warrior on the left of
2, except that the border of his shield is a ray pattern, and the helmet has no border ; he is armed
with a spear. The warrior in the centre differs from the others in having a very tall helmet, with
a single checkered border, which projects into the upper pattern as in 1 ; a faint line marks the
outline of the head, evidently done in the preliminary drawing. This feature may be observed
on almost all the figures. His shield seems to have had a four-leaf rosette for its device, the leaves
being left plain and the entire shield covered with yellow ; a fainter line encircles the shield inside
the rim. He is armed with a spear (since the lower curved line behind him is clearly the continu-
ation of his spear) and a sword. Between his legs a bird similar to the one on 4. Of the right-
hand warrior only the head and part of a leg are preserved.
All the figures are bearded, and as the bulk of the face is covered by the helmet a triangular
space is formed by the nose and eye. It may be noted that in no two cases is the device of the
shields the same. Faint black lines are seen on several of the figures, which in most cases marks
the preliminary drawing. On 4 the lines of the legs of four figures cross each other, due, of course,
to careless drawing.
Separated from the frieze just described by a narrow border containing a double guilloche (drawn
in outline and stippled in black) is the third frieze (1 and 3).
At the left of 1 are the body, hind leg and fore legs of a horse ; to right, a broad band around the
chest, with the reins along the back. Behind the horse the figure of a man from the waist down-
wards carrying a shield (in outline ; device a rosette) and two spears. Around his waist is a belt
with a row of dots. Yellow is used on his body and legs as well as on the body and legs of the
horse, with the addition of faint black lines. Before the horse to left a woman, from the waist
downward (in outline), holding a staff in her hand and clad in a chiton reaching almost to the
ankles, stippled above in black, with three borders, a zigzag, meander, and dots. Behind her the
leg and foot of another man, drawn in outline, but evidently wearing a boot. Between the hoi'se's
fore legs a water bird and above the reins a flying bird, as in the lower frieze. Incised lines are
used to denote the reins. At the back of the horse is a projection to which the reins are fastened,
from which goes a diagonal line to the top of the frieze representing a goad or whip.
The arrangement of 3 is somewhat problematical.^ At the left is the upper part of a female
figure (with long hair in ribbed locks) clad in a sort of bodice and a long skirt, stippled with
black dots ; she is stretching out her right arm. Behind her the figure of a bearded centaur, with
a belt around his waist, looking to left, but his body turned to right : the line of the nates and the
calf is visible at the lower part of the fragment. He is formed in the Archaic type, the entire
figure of a man joined to the body and hind legs of a horse. The horse's body is seen to left and
the woman seems to have her left arm around it. The waist of the centaur is pierced by an
arrow, and the blood is marked by dark streaks. The attitude of his right hand is uncertain.
The eyes of both figures are drawn as dotted circles. In field, flying bird.
Above is the last frieze which forms the base of the vessel proper. Some animal is represented
to left, as three legs, body, and neck (ornamented with a scale pattern) are visible, but what the
animal is cannot be told. Under its fore leg a row of dots and beneath the body a swastika.

NESSOS AND DEIANEIRA 163
Tlie chief interest of the vase lies in the two main friezes, but owing to the fragmentary condi-
tion of the vase their arrangement is extremely doubtful. It is perfectly plain that the subject of
the lower frieze was the combat over some fallen warrior, and if we place 5 below 1, and transfer
2 to a position directly over 4, we shall obtain six warriors on the left and four (or perhaps only
two, if 2 forms the head of the two warriors to the right of 4) on the right. How many warriors
were represented, or whether the two sides of the base represented different scenes, we cannot say.
Less clear is the arrangement of the upper frieze. We have the figures of a horse, man, two
women, and a centaur, and as it is certain that the subject of 3 had no connection with 1, both
fragments were probably on opposite sides of the base. That the horse on 1 was harnessed to a
chariot seems certain. Although we have only one horse, we know the single teams were com-
mon during the Archaic period.^ As three reins are certainly represented, it is possible that a
pair of horses was intended (which would be more appropriate to the period of the vase). If a
wagon be supplied, then the object to which the reins are fastened must be the top of the pole.
Although it is placed just over the flank, we find it set as far back on the shoulder of a black figure
hydria (Gerhard, Ans. Vas. pi. 253). It cannot possibly be the mtv^ of a chariot, as it is far too
close to the body of the horse. That the diagonal line which begins at the end of the pole is a
goad held in the driver's hand, a comparison of Aus. Vas. pi. 251 shows clearly. Not enough of
the scene is preserved to warrant an identification.
With 3 the subject is plain. Deianeira and the centaur Nessos are represented. The round
object at the back of the woman's head is probably the sword of Herakles ; at least it is precisely
similar to the sword on the lower frieze, and on a Chalcidian vase in the Louvre we find Herakles
attacking the centaur with a sword (Ans. Vas. 117-118, 1). The attitude of the centaur is par-
alleled by another centaur on the Argive lekythos in Berlin (Arch. Zeit. 1883, pi. x.), who,
pierced by an arrow, is flying to right while looking back over his shoulder. Deianeira is repre-
sented in a rather singular fashion ; she seems to be clinging to the centaur's body with one hand
while stretching out her right hand as if to call for assistance. Such a treatment of the scene is,
as far as I know, unique.
This representation of Herakles's encounter with Nessos (if such it be) seems to be the earliest
instance we have where Deianeira is represented (cf. Roscher's Lex. II. p. 2194).
Several points in the matter of detail must be noticed. The type of helmet is peculiar ; for the
simple helmet, that worn by the warrior on the Melian vase (Conze, McUsche Vasen, pi. iii.), offers
the nearest resemblance, but the tall helmet differs from any I have yet seen. The female figure
on 3 wears her hair in a ribbed band behind, an extremely common form during the late Argive
and Corinthian periods. The treatment of the eye varies in the two principal friezes ; in the
lower we have a pear-shaped space for the nose in white with the eye as a small dot ; in the upper we
have the usual type on Melian or Rhodian vases,^ the dotted circle. The shields are the round form
which is found in the Geometric style, but the addition of a device is characteristic of a later period.
In spite of its many peculiarities, I see no reason to doubt that the vase is of Argive fabrication
and belongs to the early stage of Class III. of the Argive. Of purely Geometrical motives we find
no trace, except the water bird on 1, but all the various motives, the swastika, guilloclie, birds,
etc., can be traced to earlier examples. The arrangement of the figures savors of a Mycenaean
prototype, but the animal frieze shows a certain amount of Oriental influence. The application of
color is probably, as we have seen, an Argive peculiarity. At the same time the general execution
is primitive in its character, in spite of the advanced tendency of the composition, and shows little
trace of the technical skill so characteristic of the later Argive vases.
It is of course possible that this may be a foreign product, imported into Argos, and if such
were the case we should expect to find analogous vases in other places, which, with one exception,
the Aristonothos vase,** are not forthcoming. Melian, Rhodian, and Ionian vases which belong to
the same period as our vase (perhaps a trifle later) seem to offer some slight resemblance, but it
may be easily seen, if their styles be analyzed, that there is no connection between them.
The Aristonothos vase, though treating a different subject from ours, is the only vase which

shows any similarity of style, and has therefore been assigned by Furtwiingler to an Argive
fabric.^ It may be bold to use that vase as a eriterion, but the view of a scholar like Furtwiingler
calls for careful attention, and if at Argos we find a vase similar to the Aristouothos vase, which,
though exhibiting several new features, shows clearly the elements of the Argive style, there would
seem to be good reason for assigning both to an Argive fabric.
We find that on the Aristonothos vase the type of figures, profiles, etc., is identical. The round
shields are used with similar devices. Also on many of the figures small white dots are added sueli
as we have seen on the vases just discussed, a strong point in favor of the Argive origin of that
vase. We find a rosette precisely similar to that on the shield of our fallen warrior with black
and white leaves. Except for the white dots, there is no application of extra color on the Aris-
tonothos vase.
If what we have just said holds good, then our vase must fall at the beginning of the seventh
century ; later than that it cannot be.
PLATE LX.
19 a-h. Eight fragments from a large vase.^ The shape is uncertain but it may have been
some sort of a pyxis. The diameter was about 28 cm., greenish yellow clay with a dirty brownish
yellow slip, decoration in black to dark brown. Incised lines used. Kim ends in a moulding. No
trace of glaze on interior.
A pyxis seems the most probable shape, though the addition of a moulding to the rim is unusual.
On a we have a bearded man in a chariot to right drawn by a single horse, holding the reins in
his left hand and a goad or spear in his right hand. He is clad in a single long garment with a
zigzag pattern down the front. The body of the chariot is ornamented with a zigzag border,
incised, and the eye of the man is denoted by a dotted circle. The chariot has a single wheel.
Behind the man three vertical lines bordering the panel.
On b we have a large cauldron and a tripod with double legs, ending at the sides in a wheel on
which a horse is perched. Over the tripod is a helmet. Between the cauldron and the tripod
some object, perhaps a cleaver, c shows portions of two deer (eyes incised) to right, and d and
e show the head and horns of a stag.
On the bottom of the vase (e-h) some design was represented, though not enough is left to
conjecture what the actual design was. We have already seen this peculiarity on the base of
another pyxis (Fig. 69).
It seems certain from the presence of the vei-tical lines on a that two scenes were represented,
each in a panel ; a and b belong to one side, C, d, and e to the other, f is probably the bottom of
b (showing the continuation of the cauldron), while g and h belong to the other side, g being the
lower part of c.
It is difficult to say what the principal scene represents , perhaps the most probable explanation
is that a chariot race is represented (there is room for two more teams on the vase), and that the
cauldron, tripod, and helmet are the prizes. If this is correct, we obtain the year 776 B. C. as a
termimis ante quem, since before that date the representation of a contest for prizes never occurs
on any Greek vase. Only one horse is attached to the chariot, which is similar to that found on
Geometric vases with a curved avruf (cf. Helbig, Epox', p. 138, fig. 32) ; but as three reins are
represented in the driver's hand, and the head and feet of the horse are missing, the usual num-
ber of two was probably represented. The cauldron is similar in shape to the large Dipylon vases,
but differs from them as to the handles. The tripod has double legs (contrary to the ones found
at Olympia,^ which have single legs), and seems to belong to a different type, as the legs run clear
to the rim of the bowl. The peculiar form of the latter is due entii-ely to the desire to make room
for a helmet (Corinthian type). The tripod has a characteristic quite common in the tripods from
Olympia,* as well as in other early bronze work, in having rings or, as here, wheels at the sides on

which a horse is perched. What the object to the right of the cauldron represents is difficult to
say ; ^ from f it seems certain that a similar object was placed on the other side, but the size of the
vase precludes our considering them as supports.
The animal frieze presents no peculiarity of any kind. The general style of the vase is decidedly
that of the early period of the Oriental Argive class, a at first sight seems to show the same
style of drawing in the case of the male figure as is generally found on Geometric vases ; but the
style of the horse as well as the presence of the incised lines show that by no possibility can
the style be Geometric. It is possible that the artist may have drawn the male figure after some
Geometric prototypes. All things considered, tliere seems no good reason why we should not have
here a vase of distinctly Argive fabric.
PLATE LXVI.
Three fragments, 4 a-c, from the same vase, found east of the Northwest Building. Brick red
clay, with a bright yellow slip on exterior, chocolate-brown decoration with free use of incised
lines. Form of vase uncertain.
That two friezes of animals were represented is certain. Traces of a lower frieze appear on a.
On a and b we have some animal to right, on b the wing and body of a seated sphinx, and on c
the fore part of another animal similar to a.
Of all the fragments yielded by the Heraeiuu these are the most unique and extraordinary.
With the exception of an animal on an Early Attic vase (Couve, B. C II. 1893, p. 25, pis. ii.
and iii.), which bears an extremely superficial resemblance, I have been unable to find any vase or
fragments which offer any analogy whatsoever. The fact that an animal frieze is represented as
well as the presence of the sphinx shows tliat the fragments cannot be earlier tlian the third class
of the Argive style, though, stylistically considered, these animals show none of the particular
Argive features.
Certain technical points deserve notice ; the drawing is extremely curious, especially at the
juncture of the body and fore leg, where a crescent-shaped cut is incised to show the modeling
of the leg. An oval space is left for the eye, which is denoted by a dot, and resembles that of a
toad ; the ears stand upright. The mouth, denoted by a slit, gives a savage expression to the
head. We can only guess at the identity of the animals, but that they rei)resent boars seems most
probable. It would appear at first siglit as if the feet of tlie animal on a were tlie paws of a car-
nivorous animal, but since the details of the body are so carefully incised, and as the paws of
carnivora during this period are always denoted by incised lines, we must conclude that tliey are
hoofs. The absence of horns shows clearly that they are not cattle, sheep, or goats, so that a boar
is the only other animal possible.
Whether we can recognize here a foreign interpretation is impossible to say, but until some
analogous example is found elsewhere, it seems most natural to regard it as an Argive product,
perhaps a caricature ; not a representative of any type, but merely an isolated case of some potter's
fancy ; in short, a ' freak.' Taking the technique, clay, and style into consideration, we may assign
the fragments to the early part of the seventh century.
CHAPTER VI.
THE CORINTHIAN STYLE.
The relations of the Argive and Corinthian styles to each other were discussed at length
in the Introduction and in Chapter IV. In the present chapter only those vases and
fragments which belong to the Corinthian style proper will be considered.
The Corinthian style' is so thoroughly well known and its origin so firmly established,
that any discussion of the various questions which here arise in regard to it is out of
» Laurent {loc. cit.) identifies this as a sword, which ^ Por general discussion of the style, v. Wilisch, Alt.

seems doubttul.
166 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
place. It was fairly well represented at the Heraeum ; whole vases were scarce, but the
fragments filled nearly half a dozen baskets. Such fragments as are preserved show
nothing new ; the forms of the vases differ in no way from the usual Corinthian types,
and the scheme of decoration is identically the same.
Whether all the Corinthian fraffnients found at the Heraeum were manufactured at
Argos is impossible to say. It has not been proved that the various vases of the style
scattered over the Greek world were all made in Corinth,' and it is undoubtly true
that after the style became thoroughly known its manufacture was carried on in other
places than Corinth, just as a great deal of the Mycenaean ware found in Greece must
have been manufactured outside of the Argolid. As Corinth lies so near Argos
(only thirty miles away), the importation of the style into the latter place would be per-
fectly possible. At all events, the internal evidence of the Corinthian fragments found
at the Heraeum throws no light on the question.
Wilisch has divided the Corinthian style into two classes, the elder and the younger.
With the exception of three fragments the elder class only is found at the Heraeum.
This may serve to show that the Corinthian vases were manufactured in the Argolid
and not imported, since after the Corinthian style very few fragments of any class of
vases are found at the Heraeum, while if the reverse were the case, it would be an
extremely curious fact to find the importation of a style suddenly ceasing, without
any definite reason. There is no literary evidence to show that Argos ever enacted an
embargo against the products of Corinth as she did in the case of Athens.
The forms found at the Heraeum are : —
Skyplios, Aryballos,
Oinochoe, Amphora,
Pyxis, Askos,
Sugar Bowl, Kylix,
Tripod Bowl, Kothon,
Alabastron, Plate.
Wilisch's statement {ojj. eit. p. 21) that the skyphos is the only form peculiar to both
the Argive and Corinthian styles is certainly incorrect, since several fragments belonging
to oinochoai of the type on p. 127 were found with Corinthian decoration,^ and as we
have seen, the Argive style included all the forms in the above list with the exception of
the kylix and the tripod bowl. The decoration on all the fragments was distinctly poor,
few showing really good technique. Most of them were found on the Second Temple
Terrace in the pocket towards the southeast and under the retaining wall of the West
Building (southwest corner). The number of bottoms (of skyphoi and oinochoai) far ex-
ceeded the fragments which belonged to the upper part of such vases. Though as a
rule the clay of the Corinthian vases is rather more grayish in tone than in the Argive,
it was impossible in most cases to decide whether such fragments belonged to Argive
or Corinthian vases, the decoration in both styles (ray pattern) being identical. Some
of these vases, however, showed just enough of the main zone to established their identity
as Corinthian.
' It is perfectly certain, througli the presence of in- (A 1035) with three zones of figures. I noted in the
scriptions, that vases of this style were manufactured in Naples Museum an oinochoe of the Argive stvle, which
Sikyon (Kretschmer, Griechische Vaseninschriften, p. 50 ; had Corintliian decoration over tlie parallel bands. I was
cf. also p. 185, No. 1). Hence Argos may well have made unable to examine the vase, but feel sure that the Coriu-
some herself. thian decoration is modern. Cf. J. H. S. XI. (1890), p.
* The British Museum possesses such an oinochoe 175.
OLD CORINTHIAN STYLE 167
In but a few cases could a vase be reconstructed from the fragments, and as the num-
ber of whole vases was so small no such classification as was followed in Chapter IV.
could be used, nor does the class represented admit of any chronological subdivisions.
OLD CORINTHIAN STYLE.
Skyphos.
This form, being the commonest, will be treated first. Two types may be detected,
those having a glaze on the interior and those without. The latter type is represented
only by fragments in a very poor condition, and seems to have been confined to small
vases. The clay is gi'eenish or gray in tone, the foot projecting in a slight moulding,
and the base ornamented with a ray pattern, the rays being very fine and close together.
Above the rays, separated by a broad stripe on which narrow stripes of red or white color
are applied, is the principal zone. As the type is so common, no examples are given
here.
Fragments belonging to the former type, though not so numerous, were in better pre-
servation as far as the figure decoration is concerned. They are generally of a red or
yellow clay, the glaze black, though in some cases it has been burnt to a brilliant red,
and in others is almost entirely obliterated, owing doubtless to the nature of the soil.
The form of the vase is always that of Fig. 64, and the only variation is found in the
proportion between the height and the diameter. The motives of decoration are the
usual ones, zones of animals (lions, panthers, bulls, goats, deer, etc.), birds, fabulous mon-
sters (sirens and sphinxes), and flower patterns (generally lotos). Red color is univer-
sally applied to the figures themselves and the bands which border the zone ; red stripes
are often applied to the interior, just below the rim. Incised lines are almost invariably
used, but extremely carelessly, as no attempt has been made in many cases to prevent
such lines running into the background of the zone. The bases are usually ornamented
with rays, and the rim with a border of zigzags, water birds, or flowers, placed over the
main zone ; in some cases the border is omitted and the main zone extends clear to the
rim. Ornaments in field are almost invariably used.
PLATE LXI.
1 a and b. Two fragments of a skyphos, of reddish clay, dark red glaze on interior. On main
zone sphinx and siren to right (a) and sphinx to left (b). Two broad stripes of applied red
separate the rim border (vertical zigzags). Red applied to the wings of the figures, and to two
stripes below tlie rim on the interior.
2. Grayish clay, dark glaze on interior almost obliterated. Heads of sphinx and goose to left.
Toothed and zigzag border above.
The sphinx is almost the commonest motive on our fragments. Dozens of others were found
showing a similar design.
3. Light yellow clay, with brilliant black glaze on interior. Fore part of boar to right. Ray
pattern below. Red applied on boar's neck.
This fragment belonged to a large skyphos, probably 15 cm. in height.
4. From a large skyphos, about 20 cm. in height. Grayish clay, glaze and decoration very much
faded. Above main zone (two panthers back to back) border of palmette-lotos chain, only visible
through the incised Hues, as the decoration has almost entirely faded.
5. Yellowish clay, with dark brown glaze. Zigzag border on rim. On main zone, hind part of
bull to right. Red applied to bull's belly.
6. Yellow clay, with faded black glaze. On main zone haunch of a goat and tail of anotlier
animal. Above palmette-lotos chain. Applied red band below rim on interior ; red on the centres
of the palmette and on goat's body. Cf. Wilisch, op. cit. pi. iii. 36.
168 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGxMENTS
7. Kedtlish clay, with bright red glaze. Panther, full front, and rear part of another animal.
Above, zigzag border. The zone is burnt bright red, the rim border black.
As in the case of some of the Argive fragments, the difference in color between the two parts of
the vase is strongly marked, and is no doubt intentional.
8. Bright yellow clay, with brilliant black glaze. Rooster to left. Ked applied to the wattles,
wings and rosettes in field.
9 a and b. Two fragments from rim of skyphos. Yellow clay, with dark brown glaze. On
principal zone head of sphinx. Above, separated by a checkered border, zone of water birds to
right broken by a panel containing a star. Red applied to wings of the bird.
These fragments show an upper zone which in its drawing is similar to that of the Oriental
Argive, without any ornaments in field. The lower zone is in the typical Corinthian style.
10. Yellow clay, with brilliant dark brown glaze and bright red decoration. Main zone occu-
pied by a very elaborate palmette-lotos chain in squares, with red color frequently applied. Below,
zone of water birds. It is probable that a similar zone formed the upper border. For palmette,
cf. Wilisch, op. cit. pi. iii. 35.
The fragments here given are paralleled by dozens of others of varying technical skill.
Some of the fragments showed the figures of the animals stretched out to an abnormal
length.
Oinochoai.
Two types were represented.
1. Tall-necked oinochoe (p. 127).
2. Corinthian type. Wilisch, op. cit. pi. ii. 18.
The first type was represented only by a few fragments in bad preservation. These
were entirely covered with a black glaze, except for the animal zone on the body, and had
on the shoulder an incised tongue pattern, red and yellow being applied to the alternate
divisions. Of Type 2 fragments of only one vase were found Avhicli permitted a fairly
satisfactory reconstruction, and several fragments of others. Curiously enough, no neck
belonging to these oinochoai was found, nor is it certain whether some fragments ' did
not belong to another variety of oinochoe (Wilisch, op. cit. pi. ii. 16).
11 a-C. Three fragments of an oinochoe. Reddish clay. On base, rays, with three bands
(middle band black, the others applied in red, dividing lines in white) separating them from the
main zone. Panther to right (head full front) and goat to left. On b an owl, to right head full
front ; on c, deer feeding to left and feet of a sphinx. Above, two applied red bands inclosing
toothed border. On shoulder, another zone, with lower part of a bird to right. Red is freely
applied to all the figures.
A few other unimportant fragments of this vase were found.
12. Dark yellow clay, with decoration varying from black to red. Ram's head to right, dotted
circles as ornaments in field. Good technique.
The other fragments were unimportant. They included an owl, panther, goat, etc.
Pyxides.
Very few fragments belonging to this form were found, but the covers were much
more numerous, showing the same discrepancy of proportion already mentioned in the
case of the Argive fragments (p. 136).
Two types were represented.
1. Pyxis with curving sides (Berl. Cat. v. 103).
2. Pyxis with straight sides {Berl. Cat. v. 101).
1 Two fragments of yellow clay with an animal zone on the body and another on the shoulder were found, which,
judging from the curve, may have belonged to this form.
CORINTHIAN STYLE: COVERS 169
The few fragments belonging to Type 1 followed the same scheme of decoration, ray
pattern on the base and a sort of tongne pattern incised on the body, red and yellow
color being applied to the alternate divisions. The interior was not glazed in every case.
2.
13. Reddish yellow clay, with bright red glaze on interior. On main zone, procession of women
to right. Two other fragments were found, one showing the women facing to left so that two pro-
cessions were represented. This fragment differs slightly from the usual form in that the base
does not rest flat on the ground, but the sides are continued down lower than the base, so that the
vase rests on a low foot.
Of the other fragments, three belonged to a pyxis of greenish gray clay, adorned with the usual
animal zone (lion, bull, boar, and goat). Another showed a palmette-lotos chain as the main zone,
very hastily done.
Covers.
A very large nnmber of these, mostly in fragments, was found. Only one type could
be distinguished, that with a flange fitting inside the rim of the pyxis (v. p. 139, fig. 73).
In only a few cases was the knob preserved, and in those it was conical or flat in shape.
The commonest type (at least thirty covers were represented) had a ray pattern or leaf
rosette in the centre, and a zone of animals of the usual type as a border on the rim.
Almost equally common was the tongue pattern with red lobes. A few fragments
showed a procession of warriors armed with round shields and spears.
14. Diameter, 0.106 m. Greenish clay. In centre leaf rosette, outside animal zone, four lions,
two boars, stag, and duck. Decoration very much faded, with frequent traces of applied red color.
This was the only cover jn-eserved almost intact. Its wealth of decoration suggests the "Dodwell"
vase.
15. Fragment of cover. Original diameter, 0.155 m. Very fine bright yellow clay, with black
decoration, red color freely applied. In centre, ray pattern. Main zone bounded by two bands
applied in red. Bird, male figure, sphinx, and two lions in an heraldic scheme.
The bearded figure on the left is dressed in a long chiton with a border down the front, and a
long himation which falls in a fold at the right. The arms are not visible, hut may perhaps be
denoted by the incised lines starting from the shoulders. The figure presents this peculiarity, that
while the himation is filled in with red, the skirt of the chiton is drawn in outline. This peculiarity,
as far as I know, does not occur on vases of the Old Corinthian style.^
The identity of the bird is doubtful ; it resembles a crow more than any other bird. The sphinx
shows no new features.
The group of the two lions is the most interesting. Though the heraldic scheme was no new
feature in Greek art during the earlier periods (e. g. the Lion Gate at Mycenae, Geometric vases,
etc.), it is not until the use of the Corinthian style that the scheme is generally used. The attitude
of our lions is paralleled by two bronze reliefs, one from the Acropolis (Bather, J. 11. S. XIII.
[1892-93 J, p. 256, fig. 25) and the other in Athens (Furtwiingler, Ann. deW Inst. 1880, p. 135,
tav. d' agg. H), and by a terra-cotta relief from the Heraeum. In the latter the lions are standing,
not sitting. Analogous is the relief in Curtius ( Wappengehrauch und Wuppenstil im Altirtlntm,
pi. i. 11).* Except for Chalcidian vases (v. Anii. 1880, p. 135, note 2) I have been able to discover
this motive on but one other example of Archaic vases (B. C. H. XIX. [1895], p. 76, fig. 4).
From the various analogies mentioned, it is certain that our fragment cannot be older than the
bronze reliefs, i. e. the end of the seventh century. The fineness of the clay, style of drawing, and
lack of ornaments in field is consistent with this view, and shows that the fragment, if not belong-
ing to the New Corinthian style, belongs at least to the transitional period between the Old and the
New Corinthian styles.

170 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
Siigar-Bowl Form.
Two types of these bowls were represented.
1. Without bandies (Wiliscb, op. cit. pi. i. 10).
2. With handles in plastic form {Ibid. pi. i. 13).
As no fragments were found with handles, it is uncertain whether a third type
(Wilisch, 0]). cit. pi. i. 11 and 12) was represented.
All the fragments show a zone of figures ; the interior is always unglazed. The base
is invariably ornamented with a ray pattern.
16 a and b. Two fragments from same bowl ; original lieigbt about 12 cm. Greenish yellow
clay, decoration very much faded. On base, rays ; above, main zone, bounded on each side by two
dotted rows. Procession of women to left ; the right-hand figure holds a pomegranate in her
hand. Dots as ornaments in field. Rim ends in a moulding.
On b the skirt of one woman's dress is drawn in a triangular outline. Judging by the extremely
primitive character of the drawing, we have here one of the earliest examples of the style.
17. Fragment of bowl : original height about 15 cm. Yellow clay, with black decoration, red
freely applied to the figures. On main zone, two sphinxes. Dotted bands above.
18. Fragment of base. Reddish brown clay, with black decoration burnt red. On base, rays ;
above, animal zone with lower part of a sphinx and leg of a pantlier showing.
It is not absolutely certain that this fragment belongs to a bowl ; the curve would suit an
oinochoe equally well.
None of the other fragments possessed any interest except one very small fragment on
which traces of a row of warriors armed with shields, helmets, and spears could be seen.
The presence of this type is established only by a dozen fragments representing, with
one exception, a plastic female head.
19. Fragment of bowl. Plastic female head ; light yellowish brown clay, with brown decora-
tion. Red bands applied to the surface of the vase. The hair is arranged on either side of the
head in three strands.
Examples of this type are fairly numerous. Cf . Furtwangler, Sammlimg Sahouroff,
pi. xlvii. 1 ; Wilisch, op. cit. p. 22, note 82.
20. Plastic head of a sheep. Similar technique to 19.
Tripod Bowls. (Form, Bed. Cat. v. 198.)
Though this form can hardly be called a very characteristic one of the Corinthian
style, it is by no means rare. Wilisch ignores it entii-ely. The number of fragments of
this type found at the Heraeum was not very numerous ; of these the majority were legs,
with fragments of the bowl itself still attached. Whether these bowls possessed covers
originally is impossible to say; a bowl in Berlin (No. 1153) has none, nor were any
covers which clearly belonged to these bowls found at the Heraeum.
Except for difference in the proportion of the depth of the bowl and the height of the
legs, no separation into classes is possible, and all the fragments follow one type.
21. Fragment of bowl. Height, 0.05 m. ; original diameter, 0.127 m. Yellow clay. The rim
is ribbed on its outer and upper sides. Interior covered with a dark brown glaze, extending over
the rim, with two concentric circles uncolored, with a narrow stripe of red applied between them.
CORINTHIAN STYLE: VARIOUS VASES 171
On exterior, zone of animals, very much faded, on body, and a single animal (lion) on each leg.
Another fragment of a leg was found.
The other fragments of the type all followed the same scheme of decoration, a zone of
animals on the body and single figures (panthers, hons, sphinxes, birds, etc.) on the
legs. One leg showed a palmette-lotos pattern in place of a figure.
Alubastra.
Two types may be distinguished.
1. With a slight moulding on the base, allowing the vase to stand upright (Wilisch, op. cit.
ii. 15).
2. With round base (Berl. Cat. v. 109).
1.
Only a few scattered fragments of this type were found. The moulding is placed
directly in the centre of the base, with a leaf rosette radiating from it, and the body of
the vase ornamented with one or two zones of animals, in the usual style.
2.
Fragments of the second type were fairly numerous, especially the rims. Very few
vases were preserved whole and no vase could be reconstructed from the fragments.
Fig. 95. Height, 0.072 m. Intact save for small fragment of rim. On rim, leaf rosette, with
dots at the side. On neck, leaf rosette, alternate leaves applied in red. On
body, three gryphons. On base, leaf rosette. Red color freely applied on
their bodies. Rosettes as ornaments in field.
None of the other vases were in as good condition. They show
the usual figures, lions, panthers, geese, etc., One fragment showed
three gorgoneia around the base, while another had the lower part of
a female figure.
o
• Amphora.
The neck and handle of an amphora similar to Wilisch, op. cit. II.
21, was found, with traces of Corinthian decoration, very much faded.
Aryhalloi. (Wilisch, oj). cit. ii. 14.) ^^^ ^^
Only one type of aryballos could be detected. Curiously enough,
in spite of the shape of the aryballos, which is well calculated to withstand the pressure
of the earth in which it is buried, not a single specimen was recovered intact. Frag-
ments were numerous, especially rims, but none of them showed any interesting features.^
They were usually of a gray or greenish clay, though some fragments of red or yellow
clay were found. The decoration is the usual type, a leaf rosette on the base with some
figure or other on the body and a leaf rosette or tongue pattern on the rim. Half a
dozen fragments showed a wheel pattern with curving spokes on the base. The
technique in almost all cases was extremely indifferent.
Askos. (Wilisch, op. cit. ii. 22.)
Only one vase of this type was found, very nearly whole. Height, 0.13 m. Wheel
» The only fragment whicli possessed any remarkable decoration bore a Sikyonian vase-inscription: see below,
Inscriptions on Vases, p. 185, No. 1.
172 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
pattern on base,' zone of female figures in jirocession to right (red applied to the dresses),
and dotted bands on the shoulder. The execution was hasty.
Kylikes. (Wilisch, op. clt. ii. 19.)
Of this type, one vase was found represented by two fragments. The clay was yellow,
the interior covered with a dark brown glaze, to which three stripes of red were applied.
On the exterior a zone of figures was represented, of which only an owl could be recog-
nized. The rim flared sharply outwards, in a fashion slightly more marked than the
type given by Wilisch.
Plates.
Fragments of plates were not very numerous. The general type is that of p. 142 with
a flat base, sides curving outwards and a moulding on the base. The profile of each plate
was different, no two being found alike. Most of the fragments belonged to the sides,
hardly more than half a dozen fragments from the centres of these plates being found.
The principal decoration is confined to the interior, the exterior being usually orna-
mented with the system of parallel bands as in the Argive style.
22. (Fig. 96.) Fragment of plate. Original diameter, 19 cm. Brick red clay with black
decoration. In rim, two holes.
Exterior. On side, rays. The entire centre seems to have
been occupied by a single figure, a sphinx and siren, of which
only the tip of the wing is visible.
Interior. On side, zone of animals, sphinxes, and a siren
or bird with very long tail. In centre, two sphinxes facing
Fig. 96. each other. Red applied freely to the bodies and wings of
the figures.
This was the only fragment which showed animal decoration on both sides.
23. Fragment of plate. Original diameter, 32 cm. Light red clay, with shai-p profile. On
interior, palmette-lotos chain, red frequently applied. On exterior, bands. Two other fragments of
the rim were found, one pierced by two holes. No trace of the central
decoration was found, or could not be identified on any fragment. A
bronze plate with similar ornamentation on the rim was also found.
NEW CORINTHIAN STYLE.
23 a and b. Two fragments from the same vase {amphora a colon-
nette or stamnos). Brownish clay, covered with a light brown slip,
polished. Above, main zone, tongue pattern, with alternate red and
yellow divisions applied.
On a warrior to right armed with helmet, greaves, shield, and two
spears. Below the shield A \ Behind him liead of a horse. Red
(faded to a paler tint) applied on the horse's neck and on the warrior's
helmet, shield, and greaves.
b. Foot race. Two men, nude (heads wanting), running to right. Below, traces of a second
zone, probably of animals. Under the handle the tip of a wing.
A third fragment was found, representing a goat to left, which may possibly have belonged to
the lower zone.
The shape of the vase cannot be determined with any certainty, as not enough of the handle is
preserved. The curve of the fragments would suit a stamnos as well as an amphora. It seems
probable that the main zone represented a warrior's departure or combat on the obverse and an
athletic scene on the reverse, with a zone of animals below. Sphinxes or sirens were perhaps
placed below the handles as ornaments to separate tlie two scenes. The letters of the inscription

FOREIGN TYPES 173
suggest A 5 [FAM] (ArFas) or A$ [(\/BAM](A;.£as). The technique of the fragments marks the
latest and most advaueed type of the Coriuthian style.
The figure is paralleled by a Corinthian skyphos representing the combat between Ajax and
Aeneas {A?m. del/. Inst. 1862, tav. d' agg. B), except that the warrior on our fragment is not
fighting and that only one horse is represented. The warrior's squire was evidently mounted on
the horse as in the skyphos.
FOREIGN TYPES.
E.ARLY ATTIC.
A few fragments were found which bear a close similarity to the Eariy Attic style ;
in fact, they show more of the elements of the Early Attic technique than of the Argive.
Whether they were actually imported from Attica cannot be said.
PLATE LXII.
1 a and b. Two fragments of a large bowl, exact shape uncertain. Coarse reddish clay, with
brown glaze on interior, brown decoration faded. On rim, a palmette chain, with a row of pot-
hooks below.
The clay seems remarkably like that of the Early Attic vases, and the palmette chain is very
similar to the palmettes on the Early Attic vases in Athens {Jahrb. II. [1887], pis. ii. and iii.).
2. Fragment from the handle of a large vase, probably an amphora a colonnette. Coarse red,
dish clay, exterior covered with a whitish slip, decoration in dark red.
This fragment shows all the technical characteristics of Early Attic ware very plainly.
None of the other fragments were worth reproducing.
CYRENEAN.
Not more than fifty fragments or so of this ware were found, nor is it certain that they
were imported from Gyrene. In the opinion of Professor Ernest Gardner, Avho exam-
ined them carefully, the quality of execution was almost too poor for genuine Cyrenean
work. On this account he was disposed to regard them as an Argive imitation. That
these fragments are distinctly Cyrenean in style is evident, but it is equally true that they
are greatly inferior to the vases which represent the style elsewhere.
That Mr. Gardner's view of them is correct seems to me most probable. We have
found all along that foreign importations were extremely scarce at the Hei-aeum,' and
that the great mass of vases was made on the spot. There is nothing to forbid the
presence at Argos of Cyrenean ware, which is the only ware in Greece during the latter
part of the sixth century that seems to have contested the field with Athens. At the
same time we know that all Attic vases were excluded from Argos during the latter part
of the sixth century, and not enough of this Cyrenean ware is found to make up for the
lack of black and red figure vases.
The kylix was the only form represented, and seemed to fall into two types.
3. Attic type (^Arch. Zeit. 1881, pi. xii. 2a).
2. Rim and shoulder sharply separated (ibid. pi. xii. 4).
It was not possible in every case to identify the form from which the fragment came.
The clay corresponds in every respect with other Cyrenean vases, and the decoration
follows the same scheme. The interior has a design in a circle, on an exergue. Red is
frequently applied to various details. The exterior as a rule is given up to the usual
sequence of Cyrenean motives, rays, tongue pattern, and pomegranate chain ; a few
fragments showed traces of a figure zone on the exterior.
' Except the Corinthian style, and that, we have seen, might possibly have been manufactured in the Argolid and
not imported.
174 tup: vases and vase fragments
The execution is certainly inferior to the ordinary vases of the style. Not enough
figures are preserved to judge accurately on this point, but in the ornamental motives
there appears a certain lack of firmness and crispness in the drawing.
3. Fragment of kylix, Type 2. White slip, palmette and pomegranate border. Below, zigzag
pattern and rays. Cf. Arch. Zeit. 1881, pi. x. 3 : Kauhratis, I. pi. ix.
4. Fragment of kylix. Glaze on exterior. Interior covered with a white slip. Eagle with
snake in its beak. Decoration faded.
5 a and b. Two fragments of kylix, white slip on both sides. On exterior, pomegranate border;
on interior, warrior to left with helmet and spear mounted on horseback, the neck of the horse
showing to left. On b, part of hind leg of horse.
6. Fragment of kylix. On exterior, tongue pattern and rays. On interior, two feet of a woman
(probably) on some object, perhaps a foot stove (cf. B. C. H. XVII. 1893, p. 230, fig. 4). On
the left, part of a scroll.
The other fragments possessed little interest. A few showed portions of the central
pictures, a bird, horn of a goat, legs of some animal, palmette, etc. The larger part of
the fragments possessed only the usual Cyrenean motives on the exterior.
CHAPTER VII.
BLACK- AND RED-FIGURE STYLES.
Fragments of the Black- and Red-figure styles were represented at the Heraeum in
extremely small quantities — not more than a basketful of the former and hardly more
than fifty of the latter. Considering the extreme popularity of this ware during the
latter part of the sixth century throughout the whole of the Greek world, the explanation
of its absence presents one of the most interesting problems afforded by the Heraeum.
That the fragments of these two styles found at the Heraeum are of Attic manufacture
there can be no question. We have seen already that vases of foreign workmanship were
extremely scarce at the Heraeum, but no certain explanation of this deficiency was to be
found ; in the case of the Attic vases, however, the explanation of their absence at Argos
is perfectly satisfactory and agrees with the historical evidence at our command.
When, after the reforms of Kleisthenes, the rise in power of the Athenians had driven
back her envious neighbors, Thebes and Chalkis, the former turned to the Aeginetans
for assistance, who gladly gave it on account of an ancient feud with the Athenians.'
The origin of this feud was as follows : —
Once, in early times, the land of Epidauros suffered through a failure of the crops ; -
to bring relief, the Delphic oracle ordered the Epidaurians to erect statues of Damia and
Auxesia,^ not in bronze or stone, but of cultivated olivewood. For this material they
applied to Athens, ostensibly because there existed no olive-trees in Greece outside of
Attica, and the request was granted by the Athenians on condition that an annual tribute
to Athena Polias and Erechtheus should be paid. This condition was scrupulously car-
ried out so long as the Epidaurians retained possession of the holy statues. But Aegina, a
colony of Epidauros, grown overbearing through her rapidly increasing sea-power, asserted
her independence, and during the course of an incursion into Epidauros carried away the
statues and set them up at Oia, twenty stadia from the capital, where a cult to the two
goddesses was inaugurated. The Epidaurians then refused to pay their annual tribute

THE ARGIVE EXCLUSION OF ATTIC POTTERY 175
to Athens, and the latter endeavored to obtain the statues from Aegiiia, but, failing to
persuade the Aeginetans to give them up, sent an expedition consisting of one trireme
(according to the Athenian tradition) or (according to the Aeginetan tradition, which is
more probable) of a whole fleet. While the Atlienians were unsuccessfully endeavoring
to remove the statues, they were attacked and completely destroyed, with the exception
of one man, by the Argives, whom the Aeginetans had called to their aid. This survivor,
on his return to Athens, was attacked by the wives of liis slain comrades and stabbed to
death by their brooches. The use of the brooch was then forbidden in Athens, and
hence the introduction of the Ionic chiton came about. The Argives and the Aeginetans
made it a custom that women should dedicate brooches in preference to other offerings in
the temples of their goddesses and also passed a law " 'Attlkov Se ju,>;Ve ri dXko 7rpoa<f>€-
p€LV 77/309 TO IpOV fiyjTe KCpaflOV, dXX' CK )(^VTpi8cDV eTTL-)(^Opi€(x)V VOfJLOU TO XoLTTOU
avToOi elvai TTLveLv" ' ("that nothing of Attic manufacture should be dedicated in the
temples, not even vases, but that they [the Argives and the Aeginetans] should in future
drink from vessels made from the clay of the country ").
In spite of the legendary character of this tale, there seems no valid reason for reject-
ing it. Herodotus does not mention the date, but Studniczka " has shown that the expe-
dition referred to must have taken place between 570 and 550 b. c, since Athens could
hardly have undertaken such an expedition before the increase of her naval power under
Solon and Peisistratos ; nor would the expedition be likely during Peisistratos's third
period of power (circa 540 b. c), as his wife then was an Argive. Also the history of
Argos shows that she was at war with Sparta from 585 to 570 b. c, and with Sikyon
from 549 onwards.'
Now a survey of Attic vase painting shows that the black-figure style did not come to
its full development earlier than 550 b. c, and the period before that date is represented
by such potters as Nikosthenes and the ' Lesser Masters ' group. The red-figure style
was not introduced until some twenty years later, and its finest work falls in the period
between the end of the sixth century and the Persian wars. An examination of the
black- and red-figure fragments at the Heraeum reveals the following facts : that of the
scanty number of black-figure fragments barely a dozen belong to the better period
(i. e. after 550 b. c), while of the red-figure fragments, which are earlier than the Persian
wars, hardly more than half a dozen were found.* Here at Argos, then, we have a period
of seventy years, represented by hardly twenty fragments of the most popular styles
throughout the Greek world. That the cause of this is the embargo passed by the
Argives against Athenian products in the sixth century becomes a fact too plain to be
doubted, and shows that the date assigned is the true one.
Thus Argos puts herself on record with perhaps the first recorded case of an absolutely
prohibitory tariff or embargo. That the act was a case of pure spite and not due to any
desire to protect ' home industries ' is plain, since no increased activity on the part of the
Aro-ive potters is the result. The presence of the few fragments mentioned does not affect
the truth of the statement, for if we consider the enormous amount of vases of these two
styles exported from Athens, it may be seen that no tariff measure could be so completely
effective as to prevent a single Attic vase from entering the ArgoHd, and as the absence
of this ware at Argos must have some explanation, it would be difficult to find a neater
one than the passage just quoted from Herodotus.

17G THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
If, then, we have for seventy years an absohite lack of Attic ware at the Heraeuni, the
question arises, " What took its place?" since it is hardly conceivable that no vases
should have been manufactured at the Heraeum. Three suggestions are possible : —
1. The early style (Argive) may have continued. This is unlikely, as it was contrary
to Greek taste in the developed periods of art to use old-fashioned types.'
2. Some other foreign type was imported to take the i)lace of Attic vases. No such
type was found.
3. Some local type must have been used. This is the most natural explanation, but
it cannot be affirmed with certainty that this type has been found.
A large number of fragments of a certain type of vases (four basketsful) was found,
which type, as far as I know, is peculiar to the Heraeum. These were of red or yellow
clay, covered on both sides with a black glaze, the only decoration consisting of two par-
allel stripes of applied red on the exterior, just below the rim (most of the fragments
belonged to skyphoi), varying in thickness, but never more than 2 mm. broad. So
common was this type, and its characteristics so unvarying, that we soon came to the
conclusion that a sjjecial Argive type was represented. Any chronological classification
is impossible, but the following points of difference were observed. Half the number
were of coarse clay, with a very dull glaze, while the other half consisted of fragments of
a fine red clay, carefully cleaned, with a glaze of extreme brilliancy. At first sight it
would appear that the latter were Attic, but a close inspection shows that the clay is not
as fine or light as in Attic vases, nor the glaze as even, distinct irregularities being pre-
sent in the surface of the clay, under the glaze, both to the sight and touch. In Attic
vases of the best black- or red-figure periods, the clay is always carefully smoothed before
applying the glaze, and such irregularities are not usual.
These seem to be the only fragments which answer the requirements of our third sug-
gestion. The Attic influence is plain, through the fineness of the glaze, and it is prob-
able that the Argive potters borrowed this feature from their Athenian contemporaries.
At the same time the application of red stripes is distinctly an Argive feature, and fol-
lows a fashion instituted several centuries before.
No vases were found intact, nor could any be restored from the fragments. Fig. 98
shows an example of this particular style (red clay, width, 0.05
m.; height, 0.052 m.).^
BLACK-FIGURE STYLE.
Fragments of the following vases were found : kylix, skyphos,
amphora, lekythos, and plate. No vase was recovered intact,
nor could any be restored from the fragments, as in hardly any
case were more than four or five fragments from the same vase
preserved.
Kylikes.
Fragments of the kylix shape were most numerous. Two types were represented
1. With tall foot, deep bowl (' Lesser Masters ' shape. Berl. Cat. vi. 171).
2. With short foot, shallow bowl {Berl. Cat. vi. 172).
Few of the bases were preserved, but it may be seen from the fragments of the rims
that Type 1 was the more common. None of the bases found showed any central pic-
ture on the interior of the kylix.
' It may be urged in reply to tliis that Athens continued to use the archaic type of coins through the fifth century,
but that was due to a special cause.
BLACK-FIGURE STYLE 177
1.
Plate LXII. 7. Fragment of liin. Band of glaze oil rim. Panther's head full-front, and back
of some other animal.
This woiild seem to be one of the earliest fragments of the style found at the Ileraeum. The
panther on the animal zone shows tlie Corintho-Attic influence.
8. Eim. Same technique. Rider to left clad in a white chiton ; behind him a spear or a goad
of another figure. Incised lines used on hair, eye, and arm.
This fragment is by all odds the finest bit of black-figure work we found.
9. Warrior, armed with shield, greaves, and corselet. Five white balls on the shield.
This addition of a shield device in white is extremely common in black-figure work. Half a
dozen similar fragments were found.
10. Lower part of driver with long white chiton in chariot to right. Behind him rear part of
horse to left, white dots on legs.
Other fragments showed figures of men or women in procession, animals, etc. White
is always used to mark the flesh color for the female figure and red very frequently for
the men. The glazed band is generally separated from the main zone by a slight
projection.
2.
Main zone directly along the rim.
11. Head of man to right.
12. Head of horse to right. This fragment in point of drawing is among the best we found.
13. Female head to left ; flesh white, incised lines along edge of hair. Red fillet in hair.
14. Satyr to right ; ivy vine in field.
Satyrs were found on quite a number of fragments. The drawing in every case was extremely
careless.
15. Eye with iris in white, and white circle ; in field, ivy vine. To the right of the eye what
appears to be a satyr stooping with one hand on the ground. Streak of white marking perhaps
a wine skin which the satyr is carrying.
With ivy border along nm.
16. Head of sphinx (part of wing showing) to left, flesh white, red fillet in hair.
Fragments of this description were extremely numerous. Quite a number of frag-
ments were found which showed only a palmette system around the exterior, ornamented
at intervals by white or yellow dots.
Shjphoi. iBerl. Cat. vi. 190.)
Fragments belonging to this form were not very numerous.
17. Fragment of skyphos. Reddish yellow clay, with black glaze on interior. Herakles and
the Nemean lion.
If the interpretation of the scene is correct this fragment is clearly later than 550 B. c, since
the type of Herakles strangling the lion without the aid of any weapon is not introduced in vase-
painting till after this date (Roscher's Lex. I. p. 2197). The form of this vase differs slightly
from that of the Berlin type, as the rim is not so sharply defined.
It was very difficult in the case of the other fragments to tell whether they should be
considered as belonging to this or the kylix form.
Tripod Bowl.
18. Le«- with rim of bowl similar to Plate LXI. 21. Slight moulding on rim, glazed. Two
male heads facing each other and a third head on the left. This was the only fragment of a black-
figure bowl of this description.
178 THE VASES AMD VASE FRAGMENTS
Am2)hora.
19. Foot and leg to left. The style of the drawing suggests a Panathenaic amphora.
Fragments of aniphoras were extremely scarce. Some half a dozen belonged to the
rims of large amphoras and showed the usual lotos chain on the flat surface of the rim.
One fragment of the side showed the lower part of three seated figures. Several bases
and a few fragments of amphora covers were found, the latter showing a ray pattern in
the centre and an animal zone around it.
Lehythos.
20. Side of lekythos ; horse and rider to right.
Fragments of lekythoi were quite common. Such as had any decoration showed a remarkable
lack of finish. 20 is the best specimen. Horses, single, double, or in a quadriga, formed the usual
subjects.
Plate.
21. Fragment of plate, exterior glazed. On interior, heads of Diouysos and satyr, red ap2)Hed
on the hair and beard of each. Above Dionysos's head, ivy leaves.
22. Same. Head of cock.
The exact form of these plates cannot be determined, as it is impossible to tell
whether they were provided with a foot. No other fragments were found.
We also found a fragment of a pliiale precisely similar to one in Syracuse [Not. d.
Scav. 1893, p. 479) and a fragment of a patera. The latter had no decoration except a
tongue pattern (red and black lobes) on the flat surface of the rim.
POLYCHROME WAKE.
Only four fragments of this ware were found.
23. Fragment of kylix. Black glaze on exterior ; interior covered with a white slip on which is
the arm of a figure in black and the corner of a garment (?) in red. Below, what seems to be a
spear.
24. Base of alabastron, white ground. Border of rays, points downward, and the feet of a
figure in black.
Two other very small fragments were also found. These had a white ground on which was the
haunch of some animal with red dots on the leg. Oue fragment sliowed a human hand over
the animal's body. Judging by the style, the last two fragments belong to the early part of the
black-figure period.
The following fragments are selected from a dozen similar ones. Their identification
is difficult, but it seems most probable, owing to the presence of the applied stripe in red,
that they belong to the class just mentioned p. 176), which may possibly have taken
the place of Attic products at the Heraeum. The technique in all is the same ; light red
clay, covered on both sides with a black glaze, to which the decoration is applied in white
and red. A few fragments from Naukratis in the British Museum show a similar use of
white, but the motives are difEerent, nor are the red stripes employed.
25. Fragment of kylix. On rim, red stripe ; flower pattern in white laid sideways.
26. The same. Two bands of flower pattern were evidently represented. Below, two red
stripes.
27 Central part of kylix. Lotos pattern in white.
RED-FIGURE STYLE.
It is difficult to make any selection of the red-figure fragments. Less types are repre-
sented than in the black-figure style, and, furthermore, such as we have are, with one
RED-FIGURE STYLE. POLYCHROME WARE 179
exception, of little importance. As far as can be told from the various bases and handles
preserved, three sha])es were represented, — kylix, amphora, and sk-yphos. Exactly six
fragments of the first period of the severe style were found, of which five are here repre-
sented. Of a rhyton, representing the head of a satyr probably, the eye, one ear, and
part of the beard were also found, but no reconstruction was possible.
SEVERE STYLE.
28. Fragment from rim of kylix. Palmette.
29. Fragment of kylix. Backs of two horses. Ou the flank of the first, a small wheel orna-
ment, and a baud on the shoulder.
30. Fragment of kylix. Female figure, draped, with arm extended. Perhaps an Athena.
31. Form uncertain. Leg of a warrior to right armed with shield, with a frieze border. Glaze
badly worn ; traces of preliminary drawing.
The fifth fragment of this period is the polychrome kylix (see below). The sixth
fragment represented a palmette similar to 28.
LATER STYLE.
32. Fragment of amphora. Upper part of woman's head to left (maenad probably), with a
saccos, holding a thyrsos ; above, tongue pattern.
33. Fragment of kylix or skyphos. Boy holding torch to right.
34. Fragment of amphora. Man in mantle with staff, facing another figure (probably a woman)
clad in chiton and himation.
The other fragments showed the upper part of a youth wrapped in a mantle, very poorly
drawn ; two hoofs of a horse clear of the ground, probably represented as galloping ;
parts of garments of several figures, and various bits of palmettes, tongue patterns, etc.
POLYCHROME WARE.
Plate LXVIII. Two fragments ^ of a kylix (form, Berl. Cat. vi. 224). Exterior entirely
covered with a black glaze, fairly brilliant. The original form seems to have been the squat-footed
type with a thick base, characteristic of the smaller kylikes with no decoration on the exterior.
The entire interior is covered with a whitish yellow slip slightly reddish in places. The central
picture, bounded by a plain circle, represents a gi-oup on an exei'gue, a nude satyr (upper part of
head missing) leaning on some object, probably a rock. He has a horse's tail and long shaggy
beard ; his chest and abdomen down to the pubes are thickly covered with hair. Faint red lines
are used for the muscles of the stomach and the knee cap. On b a foot projecting from a garment
to right upon an exergue. In the field of a, inside the circle, E A (ey[pa<^o-£>']?).
The subject of the composition is not quite clear. We have a group of two figures, a satyr and
another figure, which may be male or female ; the circle is too small for a third figure. Three
interpretations are possible, — Satyr and Dionysos, Marsyas and Athena (Reseller's Lex. II.
p. 2446), Satyr and Maenad. The first is possible, but unlikely, as Dionysos is generally repre-
sented with an attendant satyr on each side. The second is extremely doubtful, for the object in
the centre rather speaks against it, at least if we imagine such a scene conceived in the spirit of tlie
Berlin lekythos (Baum. Denk. p. 1001, fig. 1209). The last interpretation is the most likely,
though how the group was represented is impossible to say.
The loss of the lai-ger part of the subject is irritating enough, but the mutilated inscription is
still more perplexing. That iypatjxxiv was written, and that the artist's name followed the verb
seems most probable, but what the name was cannot be conjectured on such sliglit indications.
If, as is possible, the vase is by some well-known artist, more can be gained through the stylistic
features. The class of polychrome vases known to us at present is not very large. Hartwig ^ enu-

which had no decoration except the white slip.

inerates twenty-five, and there are two in tlie Louvre ; > the number is increased to twenty-eight
by our vase. The attitude of the satyr on a polychrome kylix from Kuvo- with 'AXKt/Jia8j;s xaAds is
very similar to that of the satyr here, but our vase cannot be restored so as to resemble the former,
since no room exists on our fragment for the satyr to hold anything in his hand, much less a kan-
tliaros. The style of the Ruvo kylix is certainly later than ours, which resembles more the Nau-
kratis fragments in the British Museum.'^ I caimot go so far as to assign these fragments to
Euphronios, as they hardly seem to me good enough, but I think on the whole that they show his
style more than that of any other artist and are certainly contemporaneous with his later i)eriod.
We may conclude that the vase is painted in the Eui^hronian style (perhaps by one of his jjupils),
probably about 485-480 b. c.
Practically the history of the vase fragments found at the Heraeum ends here, for the
number of vases of any kind of a later date than the Persian wars found on the site are
so scarce as to have little value. A few scattered fragments of Megarean ware, Roman
lamps and a Byzantine cup, are all that represent a period of six centuries.
It seems probable, then, that the embargo instituted by Argos against Attic vases was
either never removed, or else that the Argive potters abandoned vase-making entirely.
We know tliat for at least a century almost no vases of any kind were made in Greece
outside of Athens ; the Attic ware was undoubtedly cheaper and more popular than that
made by local potters. At Argos fragments of a later date are so few that there seems
no reason for supposing the embargo was removed, and it is hardly possible to suppose
that the manufacture of the black glazed fragments mentioned above continued steadily
on. For a time, perhaps, that ware may have been a satisfactory substitute, but it is
hardly credible that the Argives should always have been contented with it. We must
suppose, therefore, that somewhere about the beginning of tlie fifth century the activity
of Argos as an industrial centre for vase-making ceased entirely, and there being no foi"-
eign importations to serve as a substitute, the custom of dedicating vases at the Heraeum
fell into abeyance. It is also possible to suppose that this custom had declined in the
rest of Greece, for with the exception of the Kabirion at Thebes, vases of a later date
than the fifth century are not found on any temple sites. From that time onwards vases
are only found in graves,

VASES IN RELIEF AND LATER VASES.
Although the vases in relief represent two widely different periods, it has seemed best
to include them inider one chapter. Two different styles are represented, — the Red-ware
vases and the so-called Megarean vases. The latter are practically the only vase frag-
ments of any kind found at the Heraeum which are luidoubtedly later than the fifth
century.

are not very numerous, and seem to play a minor part in the Argolid, since outside of
the Heraeum very little ware of this nature was found at Mycenae ' or Tiryns."'
Pottier has analyzed all the existing material up to 188G ( /i. C. //. 1888, p. 491).
Since that date the most important additions have heen published by Diinunler {At hen.
Mitt. 1896, p. 229, pi. vi.) and De Kidder {B. C. H. XXII. [1898], pp. 439 ff., pp. 497 tf.,
pis. iv.-vi. his.
1. Fragment of base of a large pithos. Coarse reddish clay, measuring between 2 and 3 cm. in
thickness. On the base, a zone of figures bounded above and below by a moulding on which a
herring-bone pattern is incised.
On main zone, Ilerakles and the centaurs. In the centre, Herakles to right naked and bearded,
holding a bow iu his left hand, from whicli he is about to shoot an arrow at a centaur advancing
towards him, whose hands, fore legs, and hind leg only are visible. Behind Herakles, another
centaur to left armed with a tree branch, head and front of body wanting. A cutting extends
along the top of the zone, making the lower part of the relief much slighter.
2. From base of another pithos. Clay and subject identical with 1. Below the zone, four rows
of herring-bones incised.
3. Fragment of pithos sinular in clay and subject to 1. At the right of the fragment the figure
of Herakles is repeated. Tlie attitude of the centaur is slightly different from 1, as his left hand
holds the branch of the tree instead of being extended towards Herakles.
If this fragment belongs to the same vase as 1, which seems probable, it must have formed part
of the belly of the vase at its lowest point where it joins the base. Thus it would seem that the
original vase possessed certainly two zones of figures, on the base and belly, with perhaps a third
on tlie rim, leaving the body undecorated.
Some interesting technical features present themselves. It may be seen from 3 that the sub-
ject was repeated, and consists in its simple form of a man and a centaur. As the figures were
stamped from a mould, it seems most ])robable that the original mould was circular in form and
contained only one group ; the mould wiis revolved over the soft clay, encircling the whole circum-
ference, and thus the design was repeated at regular intervals. The fact tliat no trace of any
dividing line between tlie groups can be seen makes this explanation the only natural one. At the
same time the potter might have retouched the groups after stamping and thus secured a little
variety in his figures.^
That the three fragments are contemporaneous is evident. Both style and execution are more
advanced, than in the fragment from Kameiros (Milchhoefer, Anfamje der Kunst, fig. 48), but
there is absolutely no trace of any Oriental influence on our fragments. Also the centaurs are
still treated in the older style — the entire figure of a man combined with the body and hind legs
of a horse.* Although it cannot be said exactly when the change to the later type took place, it
is probable (the Assos reliefs notwithstanding) that the change occurred about the beginning of
the sixth century. But it seems probable that Herakles is here represented, though the club and
quiver are wanting ; this would seem to show an early treatment of the myth.^ We have already
seen archers on the Mycenaean silver vase, but the bow on that vessel does not curve up at the ends
as here. The branch held by the centaurs is, as far as I know, unique in its form. We shall not
be very far wrong if we assign these fragments to the first half of the seventh century.

182 THE VASES AND VASE FRAGMENTS
On rim, a rouiul moulding decorated with a series of wavy vertical lines, incised. Below, two
raised bands. Directly below the moulding the wavy lines end in a series of dull holes. Orna-
mentation of base precisely similar. On the figure zone itself, above and below, appear traces of
a faint band, which were probably originally like those below the i-im moulding. The figures of
the zone are nmch worn, in some places almost obliterated. The subject, as far as it can be ascer-
tained, represents a lion hunt by men on horseback and on foot.
a. Fragment of rim. At the left, horse and rider galloping to left. Rider holds reins in one
hand and brandishes a spear behind him in the other. Below the horse, some animal, probably a
dog. Behind the horse, a bearded man crouching to left, stretching his right hand towards the
rider while grasping with his left the mane of a lion who is evidently sitting on his haunches. Be-
low the lion's head is the head of another lion very faintly outlined. At the right of the fragment,
a lion walking to right, whose head is grasped by the right hand of another bearded man, crouching
on one knee, who holds a spear in his left with which he spears the lion. At the extreme right of
the fragment, the outstretched hand of another figure.
b. The same. Two horses with riders galloping to left. The fore part of the left-hand horse
and the rear part of the other are wanting. The riders hold whips in their left hands and the
reins in their right.
C. The same. Lion's head to right and two crouching bearded figures to left. This group is
the duplicate of that on the right of a.
d. Fragment of base. Feet of one lion and fore foot of a second to right.
These fragments are by far the finest of the vases in relief we found. As far as can be told
from the fragments, we have one scene — two horsemen, crouching man, two lions, and two crouch-
ing men, repeated twice. Whether another figure was added is uncertain. At all events, if we
assume that these seven figui-es formed the whole scene, there is room enough on the vase for
three separate repetitions of them. This was undoubtedly done by the use of the circular mould
(v. No. 3).
The repetition of the lion's head on a is curious. Either the artist endeavored to represent two
lions (delineating the fainter one with a knife), or else, more probably, he failed to secure a good
impression of the mould on the first trial and therefore repeated it.
The style of the fragment is distinctly Argive and the Oriental influence more marked than in
the preceding. At the same time, judging by the lack of ornaments in field, the fragments would
fall in the early part of the Oriental Argive style, about the middle of the seventh century. The
execution of the figure is better than in 1-3, but it cannot be said with any certainty what the
chronological difference is between them.
The following fragment is of a later date and would seem to belong to the Corinthian period.
5. Fragment of a large vase, perhaps a pithos. Coarse yellowish clay, covered with a brilliant
yellow slip.
Between two borders (tongue pattern), zone of animals. On the left, the head of a sphinx and
a panther or lion ; both to right. In the centre of the fragment, a palmette. At the right, another
panther (head full-front) and rear part of another sphinx (wing showing) both to right.
The whole scene is merely a grouping of those animals which the Oriental influence had made
popular and which is especially characteristic of the Corinthian style. All the special features,
head of panther full-front, sphinx, palmette as ornament in field, etc., are distinctly characteristic
of that style. This fragment is the only one of this ware which shows a distinct foreign influence,
and may not be due to a local school ; we may assign it to the earlier part of the Corinthian period,
i. e. towards the end of the seventh century.
6. Neck of vase. Diameter, 0.05 m. ; height, 0.054 m. Brick red clay, with palmette-lotos
chain stamped upon the neck.
This fragment also would seem to belong to the Corinthian period.
MEGAREAN WARE.
The presence of this ware at the Heraeum furnishes one of tlie many problems with
which we have to deal. Fragments of these vases reijresented the only vases which fall

between the first half of the fifth century and the Roman times. We have aheady
stated that the embargo against Athenian vases probably killed the vase industry at
Argos, but why this particular ware, which is quite common in Greece, should be the
sole representative of all the other styles peculiar to this period, South Russian, Lower
Italian, Arretine, etc., is a question which finds no satisfactory solution.
This particular style is generally attributed to Megara,' and belongs to the third and
second centuries. The only historical connection between Megara and Argos known to
us is that the former joined the Achaean League in 243 b. c.,^ and the latter some fifteen
years later. This date suits our fragments well, and thus it would seem that as the two
states were brought together in the end of the third century, importations of Megarean
industries took place in Argos. Why Argos should suddenly have imported this ware is
hard to say ; at any rate, it was the only ware manufactured at this time by a city of
Greece proper.
The amount of this ware filled about half a basket. No whole vases were found, and
none could be reconstructed. All the fragments shoAV the usual technique — a reddish
clay, covered on both sides with a brown or red glaze (sometimes steely black) and
adorned with figures in low relief, the execution on the whole being rather poor. The
shallow cup without handles is the only form represented and the decoration follows the
usual scheme. On the bottom a pattern of leaves,^ above a zone of figures and below the
rim a border composed of a double wave pattern. Ornaments in field, rosettes, etc., are
added freely to the figure zone. Some of the fragments showed no figure zone, but were
entirely covered with a leaf pattern. What the subjects of the figure zones were cannot
be told. Very few of the fragments possessed any interest.

35. Horse and rider to right ; below, leaf pattern with rosettes in the spaces between the points
of the leaves.
36. Original diameter, 0.128 m. ; lieight, about 0.065 m. Steely black glaze. On base, tliree
concentric circles. Figures very much worn, one group repeated twice. Warrior to right with
sliiekl and helmet, stretching his right hand behind him, and a female figure (Victory). In field,
a rosette and a tripod (?).
37. Bearded man to right with staff, holding out his right hand to a woman, who holds a vase in
her right hand. In field, rosettes, circles, and bird. Below, leaf pattern.
The other fragments showed various figures, bulls' heads, vases (axnphoras), etc., etc.
With these fragments the sequence of vases at the Heraeum practically closes, and it is
difficult to say whether any pottery of a later date can be detected. I have noted before
that a large mass of the rough undecorated pottery might as well be Roman as early
work, but the evidence does not seem to be conclusive either way.
About twenty small bottles, usually known as ' Tear Jugs,' without decoration, were
found. These were uniformly of a red or grayish clay and differ in no way from the
well-known type. Judging from evidence of those found elsewhere, they seem to belong
to the second century b. c.

with a small opening and an upright projection for a handle. Several of the lamps

This relief is interesting, since it supports the view already propounded by FurtwJingler, that
the Doryphorus of Polycleitus was accompanied by a horse, on ac-
count of a relief found at Argos {Athm. Mitt. III. [1878], p. 287,

but is probably of a later date, as it cannot be earlier than the Roman
period.

Fragments of glass vases wei-e scarce, and only one vase

that remains of the inscription, also in a light brown.
The drawing gives no adequate idea of the condition of the surface, and tends to make
certain traces of letters appear clearer than they really are, while discolorations of the
surface, which confuse the reading, are not indicated. All that is sure are jM, and, to
the right of phi, a Sikyonian e-sign. What followed is as uncertain as what preceded,
for the paint has largely disappeared, and, in places, the slip as well. Traces of at least
three letters are visible, but they are too indistinct to justify any conjectures as to the
original reading.
It is to be regretted that the inscription is not complete, for it is older than that on
the Berlin amphora a colonnette, 1147, and Sikyonian inscrip-

THE BRONZES OF THE ARGIVE HERAEUM
THE BRONZES OF THE ARGIVE HERAEUM
By HERBERT FLETCHER DeCOU
INTRODUCTION
The Bronzes which are described in the following Catalogue * were found, for the most
part, in the deposits and strata that yielded the larger portion of primitive and archaic
objects in other materials, and their study is accordingly subject to the conditions of pro-
venience which have already been set forth in the General Introduction (Vol. I. pp. 38 fP.).
In other words, while many pieces were found on the uppermost terrace, and still more
beneath and in front of the Cyclopean supporting wall of the same terrace, especially
back of the Northeast Stoa (HI), by far the greatest number lay on the west and south
slopes of the main terrace, particularly near the southwest angle of the retaining wall
described in Vol. I. pp. 118 ff., and so formed part of the rubbish employed in preparing
the site for the Second Temple. Bronzes were also found in and about the West and
Northwest buildings (VII, VIII), and, to a less extent, in other parts.
Distinctions in strata and periods of deposit, such as are mentioned in the General
Introduction, Vol. I. p. 41, cannot be maintained so far as concerned the bronzes, because
in their case no strata and very few depths were recorded. It may be said, however,
that the general terminus mite quern, which is indicated for the majority of the finds by
the date of the burning of the Old Temple (423 b. c), holds with few or no exceptions
for the entire mass of bronze material discovered in so far as dependence can be placed
on considerations of style or comparison with the results of other excavations. Any fur-
ther chronological distinctions which may be made rest entirely on such evidence.
Conclusions as to the purpose or use of buildings at the Heraeum cannot safely
be drawn from the bronzes found in them, because the proveniences specially recorded,
though including most of the more important objects, are in slight proportion to the total
number found — 604 : 5738 approximately. To this principle the noticeable number of
straight pins, fibulae, and rings attributed to the West Building (VII) can hardly be
regarded as an exception, because it seems probable — at least to the present writer —

utmost kindness undertook and performed the tedious tlie privilege of using the reading-room of liis department

that some of them may belong rather to the deposits about the retaining wall above
mentioned."
The brt)nzes when discovered were for the most part heavily oxidized. In very few
cases had the oxidation taken the form of a patina. The majority of the roughly oxi-
dized pieces (some 3938 specimens) were cleaned by the slow and somewhat tedious
process employed by the Greek government for the removal of oxides." The patinated
pieces were left untouched, together with others in which the oxides had already destroyed
the bronze in whole or in part, and a considerable number of pieces which did not seem
of sufficient interest to repay the trouble.
A brief account of the method of classification which has been followed in the case of
these bronzes has been given in Vol. I. pp. 02 f. That in it the first division has been
made according to genera rather than styles is due to the following considerations:
(1) Throughout the study of these bronzes their rights and requirements as museum
material have been kept in view. The first duty that is owed to the products of an
excavation, after means have been taken to secure their preservation, is a convenient and
systematic arrangement in a museum. Unless the strata or pockets in which the objects
have been found are very sharply defined or clearly distinguished, the arrangement by
kinds or subjects is the more convenient. (2) The same principle holds true for the first
pubhcation of the finds, because the primary object of this is, of course, to make the finds
available to the public as material with which to work. In other words, the first publi-
cation of an excavation should be a portable museum, so to speak, of the objects found.
(3) Our knowledge of the history and interrelations of the styles of early Greek art is, in
the opinion of the writer at least, too slight and unstable to make it safe or desirable to
found thereon a classification which, whether for museum or first publication, should in
its main lines, at least, be, so far as possible, permanent.
In the second division an attempt has been made to group and order the objects accord-
ing to style and chronology, but the method followed has been, where possible, inductive ;
that is, the selection and arrangement of catalogue numbers has been made with a view
toward securing a continuous development from one subdivision of a type to another, and,
where it seemed practicable, from type to type. It is for this purpose that many objects
have been entered and described which would not of themselves be of any especial value
or intei'est.
Though the so-called styles have not been made the main basis for classification, a list
of the principal types and objects which would be attributable to them has been given in

the abstract cited above. As the material for comparison derived from deposits of dat-
able periods is not very extensive, this list can be considered only as an approximation.
Until more material is at hand, the " Primitive " period must be regarded as but scantily
represented, the suspension vase (No. 2019) being almost the only object which could
not well be put in one of the later periods, and even the earlier Mycenaean period offers
nothing which could not equally well be assigned to later Mycenaean times.
Under " Geometric " have been included various things which should perhaps be
kept apart, i. e. small animals cast in imitation of hammered technique, and engraved,
punched, and repousse linear designs, but as the occurrence of figures of similar tech-
nique in connection with engraved or linear ornamentation imifcited in cast work is well
known in the case of the large tripods, and the distinction between punched and repousse
work is often difficult to maintain, especially in the case of thin mettil strips, it seems jus-
tifiable to group objects of similar style together without prejudice to the question as to
the origin of their resjjective techniques. Where this is done, however, it is necessary to
guard against the danger of drawing conclusions as to development and chronology from
what may very likely be a fortuitous association. Because a certain type of figurine is
found in certain cases in connection with engraved linear ornament, it by no means fol-
lows that we have the right to put all the bronzes which have linear ornament along with
them and thus build up a great class. So at the Heraeum the tripod legs, the animals of
style similar to the figures which occur on tripods, and the fibulae with the same style of
figures engraved on the blade very probably belong together, but there is no adequate
reason for placing the other objects, such as pins, sheathings, etc., which have linear
designs, in the same category historically. Many of them are probably much earlier.
The small number of bronzes of the so-called Dipylon style thus left indicates plainly
enough the slight and transitory character of the influence of this style on Argive metal
work. Such specimens as Nos. 23 and 49, which have linear ornaments, are under the
influence of the geometric style only in the wider sense referred to above. We can
scarcely speak of a Geometric or Dipylon period so far as concerns Argive bronzes.
As has been pointed out in the above-mentioned abstract, the same is true at Argos of
the so-called Oriental style. Modification of design, as in the case of the griffin, under
the influence of the Orient, there may be, but that here Argos herself bore a consider-
able share in the construction of the new type may be inferred from the Argive crater
mentioned by Herodotus (IV. 152). The essential qualities of style and technique
remain what they were before, that is, Mycenaean.
The space required for the catalogue renders it inexpedient to enter here into a more
general discussion of the relations of Argive metal work to that of the other centres
of similar industry in Greece and Ionia. While this is reserved for another occasion,
there are two points to which attention should be caUed : (1) The uniform technical
excellence exhibited by the Heraeum bronzes, even the earliest of them ; the inscription
No. 1826 will serve as an approximately datable example of masterly handicraft.
(2) Inasmuch as the bronzes from the Heraeum exhibit the same qualities of design,
style, and technique as very many others which have been found at Olympia, Athens,
Dodona, and elsewhere, it seems reasonable to consider the claims of Argos to a large
share in the manufacture of such pieces as paramount, resting as they do upon a contin-
uous tradition from Mycenaean times down and upon the actual finds.

than the " Apollo " figures of the first group
(Thera, Orchemenos, Melos, etc.), but earlier
than the Apollo of Canachus at Didyma or its
replicas (Payne-Knight, Piombino, Naxos, etc.).
Probably a little later, to judge from hair and
arms, than the statue at Delphi by Polymedes
(Homolle, B. C. H. XXIV. [1900], pp. 445 ff.).

THE BRONZES
0.03 111. Back short. Kiiiiip liigli and proini-
neut, parted by groove, which continues straight
down to bottom of feet. Head high and wide,
but shallow. Height, 0.0145 m. Width above
ears, 0.0125 in. Depth from bridge of nose to
back, 0.011 m. Face retreats sharply from tip
of nose to toj) of forehead. Top of forehead
seems to form ridge running nearly from ear to
ear. It may be a diadem, but probably not.
Nose short and prominent. Ej-es large, in large
sockets. Left more rounded than rigiit. Mouth
short (0.0035 m.) and wide. Under li)) flattened,
with groove near the top, thus making mouth
seem wide open. Chin long. Beard mainly de-
stroyed, showing chiefly in sharpness of angle
along line of jaws. Ears large and prominent,
set high. Slight attempt at modeling interior
of ear, noticeable especially in right. Top of
forehead to bridge of nose, 0.0075 m. Tip of
nose to mouth, 0.002 m. ; to chin, 0.0065 m.
Bridge of nose to ears, 0.008 m. No indication
of particular dressing of hair.
5. Upper part of female figure. From south
slope. Height, 0.094 m. Cast solid. Figure
, broken at navel. Anns also broken. Front of
hair damaged on the right side, between centre
and right rosettes, and the right rosette (not ear-
ring) is destroyed. Headdress broken, so that
original form is uncertain. On right side, lower
right volute was apparently attached to the lotus-
blossom above by transverse piece, of which only
stub remains. On lotus-blossom just above lower
right corner is seen place where something was
attached. Centre of this place, 0.00125 m. from
upper right side of flower. On left side, left
volute gone. On left side of lotus, 0.012 m.
from top of left side is similar attachment place
to that on right side. Top of headdress slightly
irregular but does not appear to be broken, as
lines of engraving of the back piece continue
over top. Surface of bronze well preserved ex-
cept for abrasions. Figure was probably stand-
ing. Left hand probably held object. Action
of right arm uncertain, but probably held some-

as shown by indication of navel.^ Style of fig-
ure archaic of advanced type, marked by ease
and sureness of technique. Breasts, slight and
angular, ending in blunt and rounded points.
No indication of nipples. Body modeled in two
planes ; the upjier from neck to nijiples, lower
continuing thence straight downward. Between
breasts and navel two broad shallow furrows,
connected by similar perpendicular furrow.'*
Back without details. In general, body of this
figure shows artist's effort to escape from uni-
formity and sexlessness of the nude type. Con-
siderable skill, relatively, is shown in modeling
of arms. Position of right arm together with
muscle shows that it did not hang loosely, but
was probably extended at elbow. Neck full and
rather long. Length, 0.007 m. Sharply dif-
ferentiated from the body. On chest just be-
low neck is necklace in zigzag pattern.''^ Head
high and somewhat shallow. Height from chin

Forehead appears low because of headdress, but
quite full over eyes. Eyes large, set in plainly
defined sockets. Ball of eye full. Upper and
lower lids shown. No prolongation of upper lid
over lower at outer corner. Indication of eye-
brows uncertain. Nose straight and regular.

Ears slightly indicated under headdress, lio-
settes projecting from headdress opposite angle
of jaw, undoubtedly earrings. If lobe of ear
is considered as coining as far down as tliese
rosettes, the ears would be placed remarkably
correctly for an archaic work. Head on top and
behind covered with sort of wig of nearly uni-
form thickness. This wig lies low on forehead.
From temples it slopes off to the ears, beneath
which it swells forward to about middle of side
of neck. Hair falls down at back to a blunt point.
No indication of tying at tip or of folding under.
From top of shoulders, two flat curls, hanging
downwai-d on either side of the breast. Head-
dress ornamented with rosettes ' above the tem-
ples and the centre of forehead. They consist
of slightly concave disks, with tiny knob in centre.
From this centre engraved lines radiate to outer
edge. Hair and curls ornamented with short,
oblong punch-marks, except on left side of head.
For front hair (forehead, neck, and curls) a
smaller punch seems to have been used. Above
headdress is ornament of lotus flower and bud,
rising from volutes.^ Height, 0.0305 m.
Of these volutes, three remain, of which the
two larger are placed back to back. The other
at the right curls under end of bar which con-
nects the former. Whether there was another
volute is uncertain. These volutes ornamented
with irregular engraving. The larger volutes
were meant to be connected by oblong ornament
across their face. This ornament consists of a
zigzag inclosed by a rectangle, and seems to
have been stamped with a concave punch. The
lotus ornament rises above central volutes and
consists of bud, sides of flower and palmette-
shaped back of same. Bud ornamented by fine
line running near edge, all around from top of
stalk, and by slight punch-marks struck between
the lines. Back of ornament is entirely plain,
and rests against nail-like support ** growing out
of top of head, with which it is cast in one piece.
Lotus and volute seem cast separately and welded
on to head.^

THE BRONZES
Hocks aud knees indicated by knobs or pro-
tuberances. Neck wide and flat, with curve
where mane should be. Bent slightly to right.
Nose rectangular, upper head flattened. Fore-
lock indicated. Eyes aud ears not clearly dis-
tinguishable. Base ' ornamented on under side
with line running entire length. On left side
of line, tooth-ornament. On right side a heavy
zigzag, outside of which along edge a narrow
tooth-ornament pointed inward. Near front
right corner, snudl indentation. Front left
corner broken off. This animal is of the severe
or angular geometric style, marked by long body
with angular jointing of neck aud legs, crupper
rising very little above back. Extreme flatness
of neck also a feature of this phase of the style.

Hips and shoulders not sharply set off, nor is
joining to body angular. Attempt to show dif-
ference between fore and hind quarters at
juncture with body. Knees and hocks shown
by sudden decrease in thickness on outside, the
inside lines being straight. Body undercut be-
tween legs, especially at back. No indication of
sex. Feet not distinguished. Neck flat. Base
plain on top. Below deeply undercut so as to
show zigzag in relief, running lengthwise, with
field at either side inclosed on front and sides by
rim or frame, which is omitted at back. Short-
ness of body, lack of angularity of joining of
legs, and treatment of back mark this as milder
geometric style. Antiquity shown by treatment
of knees, hocks, and plainness of neck.

fully distinguished from body. Hocks indicated
by slight projections with notch above. Tail
curves outward and is attached to base. Legs
undercut at body, more behind than in front.
No mark of sex. Mane not indicated, but there
is high forelock and crest, which with part be-
neath was probably conceived to be covered
with hair. Crest undercut above nose, which is
nearly round. No mouth or ej'es visible. Lumps
at side of head are ears. Base plain on tojj ;
bottom divided into two rectangular fields of
about equal size, each surrounded by a rim. In
left field, under hind legs, lion in relief to right
with tail over back. Above neck, indistinct ob-
ject, possibly upper part of a man. In right
field a horse to left, moving. No details given,
but head and body long, neck short, tail hangs
straight. Above horse, a lizard (probably), to
right. In upper right corner a serpent (per-
haps) rampant. In this base and in that of the
others, except No. 15, technique is that of carved
design (probably in wood) impressed on clay
model. This horse is a further development of
type of Nos. 8 and 9.

Left hind quarter distinguished a little more
carefully than right. Knees shown by sudden
narrowing in front, as though part of leg were
cut out. Hocks given in same way. No feet.
Undercut between fore legs up to line of bodj%
square across. Partially undercut at back,
especially between legs, which are wide apart,
and under tail. Uncertain whether sex was indi-
cated. Tail attached to end of base. On right
side of neck a little back of centre, two concen-
tric circles. Between this and head, traces of
double line of dots across side of neck. Close
to head similar line running across neck. Be-
low circles a line of dots which does not at
either end come to edge of neck. Beneath it,
three other parallel rows. In front, the ends
connected by irregular convex line of dots. At
the back, first and second lines are connected
square across. Connection between other lines
doubtful. At right of rings there seems to be a
broad zigzag connecting the lines at top and lower
part of neck. On left side of neck, double row
of dots just below ears. At bottom of neck an-
other double row. Above second row, a wavy
row. Across middle of neck, an indistinct pat-
tern, perhaps a zigzag, in middle of which and
of neck, a punch-mark, around which a small
ring. Between right side of this zigzag and
lines at top of neck apparently a similar irregu-
lar zigzag. No indication of mane.^ Nose long
and cylindrical. Mouth indicated. Right eye
shown by dot and cii'cle. No certain trace
of left eye. Right ear has engraved line down

0.02 m. Body long ; nearly cylindrical, though
slightly narrower in upper part. Crupper fairly
high. Hock shown in left hind leg, marked
by bend, and clearly defined exterior angle.
Left knee indicated by bend and slight swelling.
Body roughly undercut between legs. No indi-
cation of sex ; probably female. Neck attached
to body at obtuse angle with easy curve ; about
cylindrical. No mane. Top of head and face a
triangle. No trace of eyes, mouth, or ears, due
probably to bad preservation. Base plain on
top. Bottom ornamented with parallel rows of
arrowheads in relief running toward back, the
whole inclosed by raised frame which forms
outer edge of base. This animal is of geometric
style, as base and undercutting between legs
show. Body, shoulders, hips, and legs are of

vention and more naturalistic. The head ex-
cessively rude and clumsy. The piece is prob-
ably as early as Nos. 8 and 9, and earlier than
Nos. 10 or 11. In view of the radical stylistic
characteristics of even the earliest and rudest
geometric work, it is better to regard it not as
preparatory to the geometric period but as the
outgrowth of coexistent naturalistic tendencies.^

plain on top. Bottom has one lengthwise line
a little to right of centre, also some irregular
lines at front and back and irregular diamond
pattern at centre. Head, back, and body of

two holes'' bored from sides. Beneath eyes
and running back are the ears. Ujiper side of
base has row of dots at back near edge, and
apparently a double row on right side. Bottom
divided by line made by cutting either side of
it into lengthwise fields, each of which is en-
gi'aved witli two parallel zigzag lines. These
lines produce effects of zigzag in relief, with line
of tooth-ornament also in relief at either side.
In this figure the freer and more natural shape
of body and shoulders, lack of undercutting,
and greater thickness of neck are marks of
emancipation from the geometric style, which,
however, is still shown in tiie base, and in the
flatness of neck.

circle. Over the eyes are swellings of frontal
bone, each with two engraved lines in plane of
face. Between these, rosette of fine lines radiat-
ing irregularly. Nostrils indicated by two slits.
Mouth closed. This cow shows entire freedom

and deep in front of eyeball. Nose short and
thick ; no nostrils. Mouth open, showing four
teeth at corners. Front and hind legs connected
by flat base that hides the insertion of bar. Up-
2)er part of base projects over lower, forming sort
of cornice. The iron bar much corroded, and
shape thereby altered. It seems to have been
inserted into some wooden object, such as staff
or sceptre. Style in general true to nature but
somewhat conventionalized for decorative pur-
poses. Modeling soft : all sharp outlines avoided.^

0.052 in. Diameter of tube inside, 0.0095 ui.
Head shaped like truncated cone, but toj) slightly
convex. Corners on lower side beveled. Bot-
tom and sides plain. Mouth given by straight
line. Eyes of two concentric circles, above
which raised lid inclosed by two lines. Top of
head engraved with double crescent at back and
down centre oblong ornament of two elliptical
lines. Space between the parallel lines en-
graved with oblique strokes, giving rope effect.
Midway between eyes and end two crescents open
outward, one on each side. They are formed
of two lines running to edge of top. Mouth
round. Head and tube hollow for passage of
water, forming small spout.
33. Serpent, attached. From back of South
Building. Preservation good. Length, 0.1215 m.
Width, 0.045 m. Body and lower neck plain.
Nine lines on upper neck. Head tapers to a
rounded point and flattens from back to front.
Sides and bottom of head plain. On top, four
half-circles, turned outward, two on each side.
Each consists of two lines. No indication of
mouth. Probably not much of original figure
lost, as serpent seems to have been intended to
project from behind aegis or part of clothing of
statue, e. g. Athena. Technique (hammering)
and engraving are geometric, but figure is prob-
ably not of geometric period, but of archaic art.

liody flat, plain underneath. On top slightly
rounded. Legs bend slightly forward, are plain,
and of uniform size. Neck rises from lower edge
of body. At base of neck, hole, for suspension,
0.003 m. in diameter. Head about at right angles
with neck. No eyes or mouth. Probably had
base, to judge from roughness at end of left foot.^
37. Bird on standard. Probably originally
on base. From below Cyclopean wall and above
Stoa. Preservation poor. Legs and standard
broken. Head and tail damaged. Solid.
Height, 0.036 m. Length, 0.034 m. Adjoining
legs, but separate, a round standard. It is placed
between legs, slightly forward, and comes through

Height of standard, 0.0195 m. Round body, like
nail-head, with narrow extension at back, which
may be either body or tail. Eyes marked by two
pointed projections. From eyes, head sharpens

39. Complex of two birds, attached to base.
Found in bank, east of chambers (III), just
above poros wall, 1894. Preservation fair.
Base rough at back as though broken. Solid.
Height, 0.036 m. Length, 0.041 m. Length of
base, 0.028 m. Width of base, 0.0055 m. So
constructed that right legs, which are very large,
serve as standards, keeping the poise of whole
figure, and left legs and bodies so combined that
bodies seem to be a continuous bar attached to
short left legs ; portions of bar belonging to
each, marked by obtuse angle close to right leg
of rear bird. In front figure, bar projects nearly
to front of right leg. Heads have small projec-
tions for eyes. Beaks rounded, slightly thicker
than wide. Base rectangular. Has round hole,
0.0123 m. from front end, 0.0019 m. in diameter.
Seems like hole for suspension, but slant of figure
toward left makes possible to drive nail through
from right side.

base of neck to front just above standard. Di-
ameter, 0.0018-0.003 m. Back of body shows
two bands of two lines each, on top and sides.
Base of head, similar band of two lines. Tail
fan-shaped ; nicked along back edge. Head
flat but slightly rounded. No eyes or other
details. Standard ornamented with three raised
rings just beneath body. Below these, rounded
swelling. Line of top of base projects slightly,
forming ridge, and on bottom is indented square,
circ. 0.007 m. on a side. Outside this, another
square. Space inside smaller square sunk more
deeply than space between squares. First ex-
ample so far with ornamentation, though form
is very primitive or conventionalized.^
41. Bird on standard, probably originally with
base, similar to No. 40. Provenience unknown.
Badly preserved. Solid. Height, 0.032 m.
Length, 0.024 m. Body shows no details, but
seems to have had three lines at top of neck.
Similar ornament perhaps, at base of tail. Hole
in neck, similar to preceding. Standard has nar-
row swelling immediately beneath body, followed
by a wide, full band. Probably belongs with
preceding, though shape of head may have been
different.

Diameter, 0.0045 m. Body has prominent breast,
but short back. Eyes prominent. Bill long and
clearly marked. Standard nearly round. Base
flat on top, but slightly hollowed below, leaving
uneven rim around the edge. Neck, eyes, bead,
and bill the most advanced so far. In these
points and in short body resembles No. 38, in
which, however, body has different shape.'''
43. Bird with standard, resting on perfoi'ated
circular base. Provenience unknown. Preser-

0.035 m. Diameter of hole in body, circ. 0.004 m.
Prominent breastbone. Body tapers above and
below toward tail. Standard circular, swelling
where it joins base, which is plain on top, and
below, the rim taking form of a roll.
Type b. Naturalistic influence.
44. Duck. From cutting at east end of Upper
Temple, toward the tents. Preservation fair.
Cast hollow. Pleight, 0.019 m. Length, 0.045 m.
Body rounded, of natural shape. Wings indi-
cated by line down back, from upper end of which,
0.05 m. from base of neck, are drawn lines to
show curve of wings. Curve of neck slightly stiff
and too small. Eyes almond-shaped, slightly con-
vex, surrounded by engraved line. Bill rather
flat. Inside, partially filled with some dark sub-
stance, uncertain whether core or dirt. Behind
hole in breast are shown the flippers. No cer-
tain mark of attachment below, though less care-
fully finished. W^ork of considerable skill.
While more naturalistic than geometric, belongs
to a period before naturalism became a style.

dot. At base of comb, two parallel lines. Eyes
uncertain, but probably given. Each side of
tail has two circles surrounding dots.' At base
of tail, four lines of engraving on each side.
Neck better than No. 47, but body less good.
Probably had no standard, but was a pendant.
47. Cock. Provenience unknown. Preser-
vation poor. Ring or contrivance on back
broken. Large irregular hole in left side of
body, showing inside to be hollow. Height,
0.055 m. Length, 0.0995 ni. Height of body
and knot on back, 0.02G m. On top of body,
vertical hole, 0.002 m. in diameter, through to
interior. In middle of back, piece of uncertain
purpose, perhaps part of suspension ring. Legs
about 0.008 m. long. Bottom slightly concave.
Body rises at either end in two spouts toward
neck and tail. Not certain whether hoUow en-
tire length. On inside, reed or tongue-like strip
of metal, 0.0035 m. wide, and 0.0004 m. thick,
projects from about centre of right side horizon-
tally across body. At base of tail, two raised
rings. Length of tail, 0.032 m. Ornamented
on each side with five sets of concentric circles,
three of which are larger, and consist of small
round hole, surrounded by two circles, the outer
fainter than the inner. Above these, a dot sur-
rounded by circles. Upper circles are fainter
than lower. At upper end of neck, two raised
rings. Eyes raised. Beak round and tapers to
point. Convex above, concave below. On each
side of comb, dot inclosed by two circles, as on
tail. Between these and top of comb, on each
side, five dots each in circle.
Type b. Naturalistic influences.
48. Cock. Provenience unknown. Condi-
tion rather poor. Probably hollow, as it seems
too light for solid mass. Height, 0.0445 m.
Length, 0.0472 m. Body rounded, broad across
bottom, pot-shaped. On back, sort of dowel,
which seems to have terminated in an eye, now
broken. It seems to have been let into the
body, not cast with it. On right side of body
two dots, each surrounded by circle. Same
on left, where between circles is pierced hole.
On lower part of breast, to right and left of

Greek and other arts, it would form here, as well as iu
legs, two similar dots and circles. At rear
end of body, in centre, a similar dot and circle.
Straight legs attached to outer corners of body.
Bottom of feet slightly concave. Lines on
outer side of legs. Two lines on back end of
body on right side, run from circle toward
base of tail. Similar on left side. Round base
of tail on body, four lines, discernible on right ;
faint traces on left. Tail semicircular. Each
side has three dots inclosed by circles. Lines
from base of neck run diagonally, three from
one side and two from the other, joining on cerw
tre of breast. Beneath these another line on
each side. Top of neck on right side has traces
of three lines. Eyes round projections. Not
certain whether originally had comb. Body and
legs show advance over No. 47 in naturalism.
Neck, head, and tail as good. Ornamentation
rather more elaborate.

Preservation fair. Solid. Extreme length,
0.053 m. Width, 0.052-0.089 m. Thickness,
0.004-0.0065 m. Upper side slightly convex in
both directions. At end, nine scallops. Per-
forated near centre, toward base. Upper side
engraved with two lines of feathers, ending in
before-mentioned scallops. Engraver worked
from left to right, as shown by miscalculation
for commencement of dividing line between
feathers of back row. Each feather divided by
quill ; sides engraved with slanting lines. Geo-
metric influence in stiff angularity in form and
decoration.

ference of neck at base, 0.096 m. Neck without
ornamentation. Head differentiated plastically
from neck. Sides of head concave in region of
eyes. Eyebrow projects sharply. Top of head
somewhat concave, especially between eyes, and
narrows I'apidly from back to front. Eyes, in
clearly marked sockets, consist of elliptical ring
rising from bed of socket. Inside ring, promi-
nent eyeball. Pi-ojecting corners of head above

eyes distinguished as eyebrows plastically and
by engraving. Fleshy parts of head separated
from bill, on under side, by depression of plane
for the bill and slight change in direction. On
sides of head, distinction is made by a band, sep-
arated from behind by engraved line and in
front by a difference of plane. Feathers on
head indicated by engraving. Toward back
they are fainter than in front. They are not
perfectly regular in shape, size, or arrangement.
Bill is modeled with care. Upper and lower
mandibles separated by sharply marked groove.
Nostrils suggested by bulge. On lower half of
upper surface of bill, on each side, are two or
three very shallow, slightly diagonal grooves.
Work of severe style, of much skill and care ;
probably late archaic or transitional, possibly of
early classical period.

Length, 0.031 m. Height, 0.061 m. Nearly
uniform rounded wire, becoming rectangular at
0.017 m. from top. Head large and rudely
coiled ; owing to bend of wire at rectangular
part, uncertain that pin belongs in this type.
Possibly it compares with the others as the head

Form 1. Solid.
855. From back of South Building. Head,
pin, and part of foot gone. Length, 0.0245 m.

small rings between balls. On head side of bar
four rings, above which the upright has diamond-
shaped section, and tapers down. The upper

It is quite possible that this pin belongs under
the following Type q.^
878. Fragment of bow. Condition poor.
Length, 0.046 m. Balls oblate, with ring between
them. Upright has small ring next to ball and
eight corrugations beyond, — whether there were

Botly solid, with upper sides convex and lower
side concave. From middle of top projects small
broken knob. Raised ring at each end of body,
that on head side having oblique threading.
Body projects beyond head-ring and has end
worked down to form beginning of coil. Foot
consists of round block and thin, flat commence-
ment of hook. — Fact that coil seems to begin so
close to body renders it unlikely that the hook
had developed into the large blade of the follow-
ing type.

881. Coil, pin, and hook gone. Body probably
solid, with lines of top and bottom nearly straight.

head bow is wider and thicker, thus imitating
the ornaments of preceding types. These wider
parts are divided into two parts by a ring, repre-
sented on the left by deep notches at the ends
and by grooves along the left side, while on the
right the upper and lower parts each have groove
down centre. Each of these grooves has three
holes ; in one (upper inside of head end) re-
mains of bronze rivet. At head is projection.
At foot, narrow extension on inside. Two grooves
on back of hook, and hole near top.
The following objects are somewhat uncertain,
but probably are a simpler form of same type.

1824. From style of letters (especially the
sigma), reading from left to right would be ex-
pected, thougli they can be read from right to
left. It would be possible to place this fragment
loosely to right of No. 1824, thus making it lower
right corner of list of proper names nxrin^
in which case one must assume the lower edge to
recede from the letters so as to be 0.0045 m.
from § and 0.008 m. from A. The alignment
also is awkward. Use of g in retrogi-ade period
is against such reading, though the general char-
acter of the letters, etc., is the same.

1826.^ Edges at top and bottom smooth, and

portions gone from ends. Something depends on
interpretation of -T in first line. If it represents

other, and that one piece is one of these sections.

ments is arbitriu-y.
Plate CXII.
1889. Two fragments (« and &) which from
style of letters and texture of bronze seem to
come from same object. Arrangement arbitrary,
being based on possibility that right end of a
joins lower left corner of b, and that they thus
form the projecting corner of a piece of coating.
In this case the bottoms of the letters were
toward the top of the object. Lower edge of
Fragment a seems to be original, that of b may
be. Condition poor. Length of Fragment a,

lar line of beads (omitted in drawing). Traces
of boundary line beneath. Sides ornamented
with system of v's with returning ends, each v
having another interlacing with it on each side.
Crescents form bottom of loops, but sometimes
upper line connects with one side and the lower
with the other, sometimes both serve as bottom
for both sides, and sometimes lower line seems
to be real bottom of loop. At top between an-
gles, heavy arrowheads are inserted, thus making
continuous zigzag.

Type c. Feet turn in and pivot in ends of
attached socket-piece.
Not all cases which fall formally under this
type are true pivots. The feet often meet in the
socket-piece, thus agreeing essentially with
Type b. It seems best to put them all together,
partly because of the formal connection and
partly because it is difficult in many cases to
ascertain whether there is a true pivot or not.

under side for attachment to rounded surface.
2207. Length, 0.0615 m. Same on both sides,

2218. Lower end. Length, 0.181 m. Width,
0.035 m.-0.040 m. Thickness, 0.029 m.-
0.0375 m. Consists of thick three-sided shell,
the inside of which is nearly filled with bronze.
At back, filling projects slightly and has hole in
it. Bottom a separate piece of irregular height
(back, 0.0025 m.-0.015 m. ; front, 0.018 m.-
0.029 m.). Made of same material but more
rudely. Welded to upper part. Ornamental
grooves continued roughly on front, but not on
sides.
For style cf. Olympia, No. 565 (Furtwang-
ler's first class). Ihid. No. 622, is, however,
more akin to Heraeum piece than No. 565.
Plate CXXIII.
2219. Top of leg of small tripod with shal-
low bowl. Length, 0.08 m. Width, 0.03 m.-
0.048 m. Cast in one piece. Concave surface
on back for attachment of bowl, which was held
by three bronze nails in top of leg (piece of
one still in hole). Width of sides of leg,
0.0085 m. and 0.01 m. Decoration like that on
front. From back, at edge of break, pin projects
upward at angle of about 40° to support surface
for bowl. Length, 0.027 m. Diameter, 0.0075 m.
TRIPODS AND STANDARDS

This surface has vertical hole (diameter,
0.0175 m.) which continues the open space
between the side bars of leg. Depth of part
of bowl clasped by le<j, 0.058 m. Greatest di-
ameter of bowl was at about 0.023 m. from top
of leg.
Style and fabric similar to Olympia, No. 622.
Cf. also fragment from Zeus cave on Mt. Ida,
Athan. llitth. X. p. 59, Bellage, No. 5 (Fabri-
cius) = Halbherr and Orsi, Antichita delV antro

2220. Top of leg of large tripod. Small
strip of upper edge seems to preserve original
surface. Height, 0.077 m. Width, 0.057 m.-
0.1025 m. Thickness, 0.007 m. At centre of
top, broken nail-hole ; in upper right corner,
another ; in left corner, possible traces of two
others. On outside of each edge of front, four
parallel vertical ribs. Sides smoothly beveled.
For decoration cf. Olympia, No. 562.
Plate CXXIV.
222L Broken at both ends. Length, 0.33 m.
Width, 0.61 m. Width of sides, 0.037 m.
Space between sides half filled with melted
bronze, apparently for strengthening. This fill-
ing holds in place at upper end the central part
of a bronze supporting pin, both ends of which
are broken off short. The upper stub projects
upward at a sharp angle, the lower is curved only
slightly upward. Diameter of pin, 0.01 m.
On middle of pin two pieces of bronze which
may be remains of further fastenings, or (more
likely) mere drops of metal. At both ends,
between sides, remains of fine drab-colored earth,
perhaps from casting. Ornament of front, dou-
ble arrowhead pattern in centre with zigzag
border at sides. At toji, cross inside zigzag
ring, above and below which, zigzag frame.
Ornament of sides similar, so far as preserved,
except that the vertical zigzag along edges is
lacking.
Cf. Olympia, No. 627.
(6'.) Handles.
Plate CXXIII.
2222. Fragment of large handle. Length,
0.101 m. Width, 0.037 m. Thickness, inner
edge, 0.013 m., outer edge, 0.0065 m. Ribbed
on both sides.

The following are uncertain, but probably
belong here.
Plate CXXIV.
222a (Shows convex side.) Perhaps frag-
ment of outer rim of large handle. Length,
0.111 m. Width, 0.0285 m. Thickness of
outer rim, 0.007 m., of teeth, 0.005 m. Outer
edge preserves original surface, the inner is
broken. A bar similar to the outer edge of
No. 2224 came next. Probable that No. 2224
was the piece. One side slightly convex, the other
concave. If this is original, the piece can hardly
have been a tripod-handle. Ornament substan-
tially alike on both sides.
2224. (Shows concave side.) Fragment
similar to No. 2223, but broken on all sides.
Length, 0.113 m. Width, 0.027 m. Bent in
same manner as preceding number, although
not quite the same curve throughout. If they
belong together, they were bent while together
and again after the separation.
With Nos. 2223 f. cf. Ohjmpia, Nos. 636 and
639. Convexity possibly due to imitation of
curve of earlier handles such as Olympia, No.
569.
B. LOW TRIPOD-STANDARDS.
Type a. Block feet.
2225. From south slope. Ring cracked
thi-ough. Diameter (outside), 0.08 m. x 0.076 m.
Width, 0.007 m. Thickness, 0.006 m. Upper
surface roughly grooved as though for attach-
ment of some object or objects. Roughness
probably due to portions of bronze soldering
still adhering. Feet project outward. Length
of feet, 0.013 m. Have form of cylindrical
blocks except on inside. Height of standard
with feet, 0.012 m.
Among uncleaned scraps from Acropolis (Na-
tional Museum, Athens), numerous ring stand-
ards with cylindrical and spool feet.

faintly indicated. The others are sharply and
carefully modeled, showing joints and claws.
Under side of foot hollowed out.
C. FEET OF STANDARDS.
It is uncertain what the following feet sup-
ported.
2231. Condition poor. Height, 0.064 m.
Length, 0.135 m. Upper surface, 0.042 m. x
0.0225 m. In top, two holes (diameter, 0.006 m.)
passing entirely through. Filled with iron — the
remains of rods or rivets. Feet rest on bases
which are not of same jiiece with upper part.
Thickness, 0.004 m. and 0.005 m. Feet do not
stand flatly, the object being bent so that only
inner edges touch the ground. Four toes, the
lines of which continue upward, forming par-
allel ridges. On each side continuous line of
engraving down leg to sole. By means of it
an additional toe is indicated on each side.
2232. Bases gone. Condition poor. Height,
0.056 m. Length, 0.108 m. Two holes through
top. In centre of each foot, a bronze rivet which
held base. Four toes. Claws indicated. Rested
squarely on feet. Limits of feet indicated by
concave band across instep. No engraving, en-
tire decoration being cast.
2233. Soles gone. Condition poor. Height,
0.001 m. Length, 0.1165 m. Two holes through
top, now filled with iron rust. Sides of top
convex and undercut, suggesting imitation of a
buffer or washer. Rivet in bottom of each
foot. Feet have each six toes and double heel.
Above instep, ridge indicating termination of
foot. Probably stood about squarely on feet.
2234. Attached soles gone. Condition poor.
Height, 0.054 m. Length, 0.1085 m. Two
holes through top, of which one partially filled
with iron rust. Sides of top as in drawing, ex-
cept that lower band has rope finish. Beneath
feet, bronze soles cast in same piece with remain-
der of object. From bottom of each projects
a rivet indicating presence of a second pair of
soles, which (as in Nos. 2232 and 2233) were
probably of iron. Six toes and a double heel.
Decoration cast. Seems to have stood squarely
on feet.
The tops of all the above standards seem to
have had resting directly on them some object
which was fastened by iron rivets. Probable
that this object was itself of iron. For soles
on feet, cf. low ring standards from Acropolis,
with lion's feet resting on round sole or square
plinth, or sole and plinth (De Ridder, Cata-
logue, etc., Nos. 80 and 66).

same piece with cup. In centre of broken edge,
hole (diameter, 0.0022 m.) now broken out. At
0.012 m. from commencement of handle, thin
piece (size, 0.01 m. x 0.018 m.) riveted to inside
of cup. Served as guy to keep handle from
flattening.
The following piece is of uncertain identifica-
tion, Init seems similar to preceding number.

pass through cylinder and are bent back on in-
side. Diameter of eyelet, 0.0016 m. (inside).
Piece of bronze in top of eyelet, pei'haps wire.
No other eyelet or attachment. Ornament (from
top), molding, row of fine beads, leaf pattern, and
two grooves. Two grooves at top of jacket and
one about legs. All this ornament looks as though
cast.
Cf. Olympia, No. 885, which has, however, a
heavy vertical handle.

B. HANDLES.
Not certain that all of the following are han-
dles.
(«'.) Straight.
2245. Small fragment. About three fourths
of width preserved. Length, 0.024 m. Width
of half, 0.013 m. Heavy rib in centre, light rib
or band at each side.
2246. Fragment of similar handle preserving
about three fourths of width. Length, 0.029 m.
Width of half, 0.0145 m.
2247. Fragment of similar handle. Original
edge on both sides. Length, 0.032 m. Width,
0.03 m.
2248. (Shows under side.) Perhaps fragment
of end of handle. Original edge at sides, probably
nowhere else. Length, 0.03 m. Width, 0.028 m.-
0.045 m. End appears to be turned under as a
finish.
(&'.) Horizontal grip-handles (doubtful).
2249. Perhaps about half preserved. Length,
0.078 m. Width of shaft, 0.018 m. Thickness,
0.007 m. Diameter of foot, 0.028 m. x 0.034 m.

THE BRONZES
0.044 m. Under side concave and roughly fin-
ished.
2251. Perhaps side piece of composite handle.
Length, 0.058 ui. At top, cleft extending more
than half width. The j)ortion above is concavely
rounded at back but perpendicular in front. It
lacks 0.0025 m. of being in line with edge be-
neath. Cleft 0.0015 m.-0.003 m. wide, 0.007 m.
deep on under side, and 0.0045 m. on upper.
Height of blade, about 0.0165 ni. In upper part
two rivets. Form of object which was attached
uncertain, but, owing to slight projection of rivet-
heads, only a piece of sheet bronze can have been
fastened to blade. This piece will then have
been bent at right angles in case object was a
handle, and may have served as coating for bar
that would have extended at right angles from
notch to assumed corresponding notch in another
end piece opposite. Bottom slightly concave.
Smoothly finished. Diameter, 0.025 m.

THE BRONZES
0.00025 lu.-O.OOl m. Both sides ornamented
with fine curved zigzags. Pattern consists of
diagonals running from edge to centre of blade.
In upper part they are roughly parallel to each
and cross blade. From about middle of length
downward they do not go clear across. In
some cases they meet each other, forming arrow-
heads. Toward bottom parallelism is dropped
and lines curve slightly outward fanwise. Han-
dle tapers from width of 0.007 m. and thickness
of 0.0026 m. to point. Edges angular. On both
sides of handle, zigzag, the band of which is itself
a zigzag of curved lines. Handle rather than
tang, owing to decoration.
(c'.) Scraper or chopping knife.

7. SPITS.
A more methodical classification than that
here adopted would be by (1) style of shaft, (2)
jjoint or blade at end, (3) style of knob, (4) num-
ber of knobs. The fact, however, that so large
a proportion of shafts and ends are defective
imposes classification by preserved parts, i. e.
(1) number of knobs, (2) style of knobs, (3)
style of shaft, (4) point or blade.

0.005 m. at junction with upper part, from
which decreases toward rounded edge. Under
side flat ; forms acute angle with upjier part.
Doubtful whether object can have been part of
binding of shield rim, one objection being that
original diameter was only 0.23 m.

ing type), and round shaft combined.
2800. Uncleaned. Ends gone. Length,
0.19 m. Shaft rectangular and round. Size,

The reading makes it probable that the fragments
are to be combined, in spite of the difficulty of adjust-
ment. This part of the inscription probably con-
tained names only. It is probable that the fathers'
names were added in a second column at the left, but
even if they were placed under the names of the
sons, the first name on the fragment, as next to the
last, would still be in the nominative.

Double writing of consonants is the rule for Argive
inscriptions which have four-stroke sigma, so even in
A. J. A. XI. p. 43, 1. 5, 'YAXtu's. In those which
have three-stroke sigma there are no cases in point.
Those which use san write but one consonant in eases
of gemination. Cf. /. G. A. 30, 1. 5, and Nos. 1826,
I. 9, "YA.??, and 2252, e SiKeAi'tM. It follows that for
the period to which an Argive retrograde insci'iption
would naturally be assigned the single consonant
should be expected. The double writing of the con-
sonants in this inscription, taken together with the
style of the letters, makes it probable that this is an
exceptional example of retrograde writing at a later
period. Cf. the retrograde writing of names of Ar-
give kings on the hemicycle on the north side of the

The interpretation depends to a considerable ex-
tent on the view which may be taken of the dot after
T in the first line. Rogers, who thinks it an attempt
to puncture the plate for a nail-hole {I. c. p. 166),
and Frankel disregard it in reading, and join r to
what follows. The reading thus obtained, t<i8' eV, is
easy and plausible, and there are examples of allow-
ance of space for nail-holes.' Preparation for the nail

' See Rogers, I. c. p. 107. Add the inscription from Olyra-
by means of a carefully worked indentation is a some-
what ditt'erent matter ; and until examples are found
for it, it may be well to look for some other explana-
tion, especially as in this case the indentation was
not actually used for such a purpose. The analogy
of the Locrian inscription (/. G. A. 321), where let-
ters (usually prostrate) with three dots on either side
serve as a means of numbering the paragraphs, sug-
gests that II T" in this inscription may have a similar
use. In this case the letter would probably introduce
the last paragraph in the document, namely, that con-
taining the sanctions. If so, additions to the main
body of the document are not to be expected, but
simply measures to secure the fulfillment of the pro-
visions of the preceding paragraphs.
Line 1. (fiaOfiara : for the slight preference in favor
of (jy as against p, see above s. n. For (jiavfiaTa with
substitution of -a-fjia for -Ofia, cf. Brugmann, Griech.
Gram^ p. 186. In the absence of the preceding
context, it is uncertain whether the word is complete
as it stands, and, if so, in what sense it was meant.
Nor is it possible to look forward for a reference, if
the above hypothesis regarding the paragraphs be
correct. The termination would also fit {KJida/xaTa.
A*<^a.^yu,aTa like (jyrjfirj, fari, Sansk. bha-ti, seems not to
have existed in Greek. Rogers and Frankel take
the initial letter to be p. The former suggests (I. c.
p. 165) ypdO/J,aTa = ypd.tTp.aTa = ypajxpara, Spd6 jxara =
Spd<Tp.aTa • i7vv6dp.aTa, dyopdcrp-ara, and (J. C. p. 174)
lap6dp.aTa. In understanding ypdcrpara ( < ypdOp.aTa)
as ypafifiara he agrees with Robert (to whom he re-
fers), who thus interprets ypaa-(rp.dT(av in the inscrip-
tion from Hermione {Man. Ant. Line. I. col. 598).
Neither indicates the process by which *grabh-nia
becomes ypa-6p,a or ypa-ap-a.* Frankel reads
-p or o^dOfiaTa without explanation. To these con-
jectures may be added pddp.aTa =. *pdcriJ.aTa = pdp.-
ynttra (C. /. G. S. 2421). For the sense of this, as
also of v<l>dcrp.aTa above, cf . the prescriptions for dress
in the sacrificial inscription from Andania (Cauer,
Delectus^, p. 33, No. 47). However, as in the case
of ypa-dfia above, it is difficult to account for the sub-
stitution of suffix-initial 6 or cr for the final labial con-
sonant of the root without a somewhat extensive and
perhaps unsafe application of the principle of analogy.
— aSev: if this word begins the paragraph, it can
scarcely be anything but d8ev (in sense of S^So^^Oai)
or aSti/^ (in sense of eSoiev), from avSdyw. The diffi-
culty with regard to the breathing is pointed out by
Rogers, l. c. pp. 163 f . ; nor do examples of ij/lXoxtis
like 'l7r(7r)o/u,£Sa)v, J. G. A. 30 (cited by Klllner-Blass,

it. — ay»'o[»'(?) : as theainouiit of text lost at the sides
of the i)late is uncertain, it is useless to try to fill out
the lines. From the position of the word and that of

Ol^dvaTov, Fx-ankel. There is sufficient trace of con-
cavity in the edge at the left of a (see s. n.) to make
it likely that 6 is the correct reading. There is room
for Ka[i ^], but the letters would be somewhat more
crowded than they are in other parts of the line.
-Ka [6]avaTov is therefore epigraphically preferable.
So far as concerns the context, it is too scanty to
afford a sure basis for choice, but it is at least clear
that the verb of which [^javaToi/ is the object cannot
be directly connected with the verb of which •!rd/i[aTa
is the subject, because death is not a penalty which
can be inflicted after confiscation of property and
banishment. Some new set of circumstances must
intervene. On the other hand, consistency with the
general view of the inscription taken above requires
that the [6]dvaTov h^ oAAo tl Ka^bv refer to the same
person with the subject of ctvvx^ol. It is probable,
then, that the commencement of a new clause or sen-
tence has been lost, and that if there is a connective
before [^jdvaTov, it joins the verb on which [6]di'aTov
depends with the verb of a lost preceding clause of
similar purport, i. e. [' If any one should . . .] and
[should contrive] death or any other harm [against
the exile.' Unless a full clause be supplied before
[^jdi'aToi', some other reading than '<a[t] must be
found, an adverbial use being unlikely. Rogers
suggests iroj/cd, which would be suitable, and, taking
the scantiness of space into account, is to be preferred
to Ka[l^ . — h- : it is useless to try to ('omjilete the
word. Rogers suggests h[oTtai>' and h[aTii't {L c.
p. 169).
Liyie 5. For the first word Rogers and FrSnkel
have i\Tzi!\^T\f)(yZM.To, which the former takes directly
with Ka^bv. The reading is jirobably correct, but the
combination with Ka?6i', though it makes good sense,
is rendered doubtful by the lack of evidence as to the
length of the lines. It seems reasonable to suppose
that the verb is in protasis, but so far as concerns its
jjosition it might also be in apodosis, as the expression
of a wish or curse : only, in that case, some other
reading would have to be found, — something more
plausible than c]7r[if]€xi'otTO (cf. Pamphylian Fexi-

Brownson, A. J. A. VIII. p. 219), neither of which
has been found in Greek. Unfortunately, the fol-
lowing clause is itself so mutilated and difficult as
to afford no assistance. Here Rogers reads (I. c.

after the first letter of the clause preserves the out-
line of a letter at each side, that at the left being
either o or 6, as is evident from shape and size. Be-
tween it and the opposite edge there is space for one
letter of average size, or for two letters, if one were i,
and the other a narrow letter like k, y, or A. Of the
letter at the right there remains the right bevel of
a full-length vertical hasta. It is also beveled at the
top, contrary to the custom of the inscription in the
case of the ends of strokes, and continued horizon-
tally to the left for about 0.0005 m., thus making it
probable that the vertical hasta was met by a stroke
which joined it from the left, and, more likely than
not, at right angles. The letters which correspond
best to these indications are T, B, Q, and ^. It
will be seen at once that T (as in ^[to]i) is impos-
sible, nor are the conditions favorable for the letters
with slanted tops, as 1, M, ^, etc. This fact and
the doubtful i/iiXwo-is seem to render i[y (u]t very im-
probable. Of the indicated letters, S and p seem to
yield only optatives, e. g. *i[_8o']i, e[p(p)o]i, the rela-
tion of which to the context would be difficult of ex-
planation ; IT also leads to a series of improbabilities,
e. g. (1) ^iroi for ^-irov, which involves difficulty of

form and sense ; (2) *£7rot for omn, wliich might
be construed with a following optative, but does
not occur, and cannot well be invented because the
pronominal root o (Brugmann, Grundriss, II. p. 768,
Griech. Gram!) p. 243 ; cf. G. Meyer, Griech. Gi-anv'
p. 179), apart from its rarity in Greek, is not used
to form relatives; (3) *£7rot for «Vet (cf. otKoi: olku),
also construable but also non-existent, and in use con-
trary to the other conjunctive-adverbial forms in -oi.
There remains h, with which it might be possible to
read c[h(ij]i (so. iv hwi), provided the absence of
the -V could be explained. As we have no right to
assume errors in an inscription so carefully cut, and
as assimilation of v before h is out of the question, it
seems necessary to assume a parallel form k, derived
from iv; (cf. the inscription, 3Ton. Ant. Line. I.
col. 594, 1. 5, of an earlier period than /. G. A. 38,
1. 4, -avs Taj's), in accordance with the principle
stated by Brugmann (Griech. Gram? p. 75, 3), and
like ev used with cases of rest. Proclitic preposition
and object forming practically one word, the -9 would
become medial between vowels and change to -h ac-
cording to the principle also exemplified in /. G. A.
38, so that iB- would represent £(h)h. — What fol-
lows is read by Rogers Fia-^urj and explained as eiScn;.
Context and usage make this interpretation seem very
probable. The presence of o-^(t) is, however, diffi-
cult to account for («S-£((r)-t7/). Elean ftt^ws is, of
course, of no assistance because of ^txaios, etc. (Cf.
G. Meyer, Griech. Grant: p. 269.) The weak form
of the root seems to encourage the conjecture that we
may possibly have here a trace of the direct applica-
tion of the optative suffix (11;) to the root (fi8), the
sibilant thus produced being afterward extended to
the sigmatic aorist. Cf. Brugmann, Griech. Gram?
p. 337, and Grundriss, II. p. 1302. Rogers also sug-
gests and rejects " ns (yts • . . . la-;^^?, Hesychius) i,iU
(*^^yLu)." To add another improbability, it might be
possible to think of a *fts, nominative of foi, fiv (large
inscription from Gortyna, col. II. 40 ; Roehl, Ima-
gines, p. 45, No. 6 = Roberts, Introduction to Greek
Epigraphy, No. 304 a), as a parallel form of i, Sopho-
cles, Frag. 427 (Nauck), cf. Kuhner-Blass, I. pp. 583,
595 f., G. Meyer, Griech. Gram? p. 508, n. 1. — At
the end of the line Rogers reads, 9o\_6apo^ or ro\vrov,
andFrankel [t(?)]o-. As has been stated before(s. n.),
conditions of space and preservation admit t, 9, or v,
with slight, if any, preference. Beyond the o the
edge has a vertical bevel, 0.0105 m. in length, show-
ing that the right hasta of the missing letter was a
straight upright stroke. This renders both 6 {9o6a-
pos) and V (tovtov) impossible. Owing to the position
it is unlikely that the indirect object of €]7ri[T]ex>'wiT0
(e. g. [T](u[t 4>vydSi, [T]o[rs <l>vyd(Tiv, [t]o[is 'Apyeiois)
is to be supplied. It is more probable that this is
the beginning of the apodosis, which stated the con-
templated result of the preceding clause, i. e. reward
if tlie action of e37r([T]e;(i'wtTo was directed against
the exiles, punishment if it was directed against state
or people.
Line 6. As Rogers has remarked (I. c. p. 170), the
line treats of property (presumably the Trdfi^ara of
1. 3), which is to be bought. The word ending in
-OS at the beginning evidently designated the person
who was to have the first right of purchase. Rogers
infers 8a/itopy[6s from the following line, or, with less
probability, os i)(<j}v fx.iyi.(TTov rcAjjos. — For the fol-
lowing word Rogers reads Trp6[y]po[(^]os, Frilnkel,
Trpd[T]po[ir]os. As the left side of the Iiole termi-
nates with an upright bevel with no trace of protrac-
tion of a top-bar to the left, the latter reading is im-
possible. The former reading is plausible so far as
concerns the sense, but it is rendered doubtful by the
fact that the upper edge of the hole, while it can
scarcely be said to be beveled, is nevertheless hori-
zontal, and suggests cleavage along tlie line of a hori-
zontal stroke. Furthermore the point of departure of
a downward stroke seems to be visible in the upper
edge at about 0.0055 m. from the left hasta. As
there is no trace of a corresponding stroke on the
under side of the lacuna, the letter thus outlined
could not well be other than P. If this is correct, it
is not easy to see just what the reading was. Setting
aside evident impossibilities like 7rpo[ir]po [li]os and
irpo [Tr]po[tK]os, one might perhaps think of h€[7r]po-
poi on a bronze basis from Ligouri6, from which
Kretschmer in Jahreshefte, III. pp. 134 f., evolves
TTpiopoi (for (f>povpoi). But that the person designated
could be qualified as TrpoTrpwpos even in a transferred
sense, or the action of the verb as ■n-poTrpwpui'i (i. e.
' as a precautionary measure '), seems a hazardous
supposition. — The condition of the bronze at the end
of the line is described s. n. As there is an upright
bevel at the right edge of fragment d, it is possible
to read i$irpud.[^a-6io with Rogers, or t^pita[iTo or
£^7rptta[/[*€i'os. The first is preferable. For -«- see
on next line.
Li7ie 7. ai 8k /xjt 8a/j,iio[p]yor ns : so Rogers and
Frankel, except that at the beginning they bracket
only the first letter, inasmuch as the lettei'S i 8c (qu.
and p. ?) were traceable when the plate was found
(cf. Rogers, I. c. p. 160). — Sa|u,uo[p]yoi : with the -u-

p. 18, and i/mt! p. 37. Cf. G. Meyer, Griech.
Gram? p. 220, and Rogers' note, I. c. p. 171. It is
perhaps worth while to notice that, while in Cypriot
in every case between i + vowel (and u + vowel) a
corresponding semivowel -i- (or -u-) is developed (cf.
Hoffmann, Griech. Dialekte, I. pp. 37 ff.), in Pamphy-
lian this semivowel is written at least, chiefly in the
836
THE BRONZES
older inscriptions (Sillyou and coins of Aspendos and
Perge). As to the character of the sound there
appears to be substantial agreement between Pani-
phylia and Argos, for there exist in both probable
cases of an inherited -lo suffix, e. g. Ta/xtias, iinmiSuw;
(Pamph.), uXiios (Argive), along with eases like
TToKue (Pamph.) and Ka/jvei'jas (Argive), where pri-
mary inheritance is less certain, and again instances
where a secondary t appears in the place formerly
occupied by an entirely different consonant, e. g.
Pamphylian Itapoia-i (-S-, cf. Sansk. -s-), rtVqa (-S-),
Argive Sa/xuoQjjyoi (-F-). Pamphylian and Argive
also aj)proach each other and differ from Cypriot in
allowing the j; to be developed after otiier sonants
than simple i, e. g. Fereia, Kapvuia^. In this in-
scription, however, 'Ap-yei'as is written without t. —
The next word is uncertain owing to the difficulty of
deciding between san and /x at the end of the line.
From the description previously given (s. n.) there
seems to be a slight preference in favor of san. We
may therefore, with due allowance, read oh. Rogers
suggests hots (viz. rpoTrois ois [ho vo/xos KcXtuft Foi
and oi fji^iyiaTa TeXea £| xovti). That here and in the
following lines there are, as Rogers has observed (l. c.
p. 171), provisions for the carrying out of the confis-
cation of the property of the exile, and for the punisli-
ment of the magistrates who fail of their duty in the
matter, seems probable, but there are not sufficient
data for any probable completion of the lines. For a
variety of ingenious attempts, see Rogers' article.
Line 8. ras] may be supplied at the beginning.
Frankel remarks that the absence of punctuation
(cf. 11. 3 and 10) points to the article, yas may have
preceded. Banishment of the Sa/xtopyos, or of the
officials upon whom the duty would next devolve,
is probably indicated. In the former case kox oX foi,
with which Rogers reads e[yywraTa ciiv, would be ap-
propriate, in the latter oTfot (as in Cypriot for epic
oloi, also suggested by Rogers), with which we might
perhaps supply i\y tSj. dpat ivi)(oivTO (cf. /. G. A.
110).
Line 9. The first letter might be the end of an
optative, e. g. ^(LXoivto, as Rogers conjectures, or
possibly of a pronoun, e. g. tovto, avro. Under cer;
tain circumstances, specified in the preceding lines,
the tribe of the Hylleis (cf. A. J. A. XI. p. 43, No.
xii. 1. 5, and Richardson's note, pp. 45 f.) are to sell
the property (diroSo/jL^cvoL), probably, as Rogers sug-
gests, for the benefit of the sacred treasury. The
edge at the end of the line is beveled, indicating 'y.
Line 10. ya for ye ; so Rogers and Friinkel. The
territory of Argos is contrasted with some other dis-
trict or place specified in the inscription, or with
extra- Argive territory in general. — At the end of the
line the left bevel of the left hasta of an a is pre-
served for nearly its entire length. Rogers, who sup-
plies KaTa)c[a\coi, is probably right in assuming that
the sentence refers to the recall of the banished per-
son. It is also conceivable that in this and the
following line approval in the sight of Hera is invoked
for any one wlio sliall slay a fugitive (original offender
or derelict official) from Argive territory at least, in
which case KaTaK[^dvoi could be read.
Line 11. The y at tlie beginning is certain. Ac-
cording to the view which may be taken of the intent
of the preceding line, the word may be completed as
ai'a\yi'ov or CTTvjyi'oV (both suggested by Rogers), or,
if KaTaK'i^d.voL (or something of similar meaning) be
read, as hayi'di'. — ttoi for Trpos (cf . Prellwitz, Ktyni.

p. 250, n. 3, assume a festival of Apollo Cavneios at
Argos on the basis of Schol. to Theocritus, V. 83, and
Hesych. s. v. ayrjTrj^, according to whom Apollo
Carneios was called 'Ayi^rutp at Argos, and was wor-
shiped at the festival called ayr/ropia. The use of
the singular is noticeable. Elsewhere ra Kdpvua. Here
it probably agrees with the genitive singular of coprj;,
a word used by the Scholiast above cited in speaking
of the Carneia, and by Herodotus, I. 31, in referi'ing
to the Heraea (iovcrrj'; oprrji rrj 'Hpjy Toicri 'Apyci-

On the seal, incised figure of uncertain character. On

seems to see a crouching figure resembling a monkey,
which might perhaps be intended for Bes, a repre-
sentation of whom in porcelain was found in the
first year's campaign. However, the wax impression
and its enlarged photograph show rather a winged
figure with cylindrical body, around the bottom of
which are two bands. The head seems to be de-
tached and slightly removed from the axis of the
body. There seem to be three slender legs, but only
two feet ; the third is perhaps behind the others. This
figure would probably be that of some daemon, per-

ARGIVE HERAEUM
ENGHAYED STONES, GEMS, AND lYOUIES
By RICHARD NORTON
THE STONES AND GEMS
The engraved stones found (though only in hmited numbers) at the Heraeum might
disappoint one who sought among them things of beauty. It is not that they are second-
class works of their kind, but they belong to the beginnings of Greek art before the
craftsmen had attained to the power which later enabled them to turn into shapes of
beauty even the commonest article of daily use. But such disappointment is more than
counterbalanced by the interest of another kind inherent in them, — a double interest,
in fact, connected in part with the Heraeum and in part with the broader question of
the early stages of Greek art.
Not one of these stones is much later than the seventh century b. c, and most of
them are probably much earlier. This phenomenon of the absence of late work is the
same in the other classes of objects found on the site, the very large majority of which
belong to prehistoric and archaic times. But beside this fact there is another equally
noteworthy, which is that a lai'ge proportion of the stones are of a style heretofore but
little known. That is to say, they put before us a new local art, and it can be shown, I
believe, that the most probable home of this art was the Heraeum,' by which name must
be understood the town in the vicinity (which of the many there were we cannot with
certainty say) that supplied the needs of the sanctuary.
That they are the product of one locality is suggested by the following facts. (All are,
of course, intaglios.)
1. The material is the same in almost all. It is steatite.
2. There is little variety in the shapes, and one or two peculiar forms are frequently
repeated. If the stones had been imported from many places, it is certain that they would
vary much in form.
3. The range of subjects carved upon them is very limited.
4. The style of the carving is practically the same in all, and in most cases so rude
that it would be hard to believe that the ancient Argives should have found it worth their
while to import such work.
It is worth noting that there is scarcely a trace of the use of the drill, which was con-
stantly employed by the Mycenaeans. On Nos. 17, 21, 33, and a few others, there seem to
be traces of it, but the rule is for the design to be cut. This was perhaps induced by the
softness of the stone ; or the fact that, in the main, only soft stone was used may imply
that the drill was not generally known.
The drawing of the human figures and of horses, the representation of birds and snakes
(also found in great numbers on the vases from the Heraeum), remind one of ' geo-
metric ' vases. A few gems were found that distinctly belong to the ' geometric ' style,
» I shall use the word Heraeum throughout this article, embracing all the neighborhood of the temple where lived
not as meaning the sacred temenos, but in a broader sense, the people to whom the sanctuary belonged.
343
344 ENGRAVED STONES, GEMS, AND IVORIES
and those of what is I believe a new type may, perhaps, be the forerunner of the ' geo-
metric' It is noticeable that on the true 'geometric' stones occur none of the odd or
inexplicable forms that we see on the new class.
It might be thought that the use of steatite, a mineral not found in Greece proper, was
a proof that the stones were imported from some distant place ; but when one considers
that, as noted above, stones of this style have been found in considerable numbers only
at the Heraeum, it seems more likely that it was merely the material and not the finished
product that was imported. The carving was then done at the Heraeum. This stiitement
is borne out by the fact that only a very insignificant amount of objects of unquestion-
able foreign make were found in the excavations, and also by the finding of one or two
stones all ready shaped but without any design.
For the detiiiled study of the stones several methods of classification are possible :
according to their material, shape, subject represented, or style. As there are a few
stones absolutely different in style from the others while the material is the same, it is
manifest that any attempt at classification according to material would be barren of
result. Similar reasons make classification according to shape or subject undesirable, so
that nothing is left but to classify them, so far as my own judgment goes, according to
style. Others may consider that individual stones belong to other classes than those in
which I have arranged them, but the separation of the classes in general Avill, I trust,
find acceptance.
Before discussing the stones in detail a word must be said in regard to the use to which
such objects were put. They are often spoken of as seals, but it seems improbable that
their owners used them as such. Had they done so, it is incredible that no impressions of
them should ever have been found. I refer of course only to Greece, and not to the coun-
tries in the farther east where seals were in common use. Furthermore, what imaginable
way is there for their use as seals ? Documents that could be sealed by any such stones
as these were unknown in the days when they were made. They are too small and insig-
nificant to have been used as marks of proprietorship of objects, — were this extravagant
hypothesis to be brought forwai-d, — and the fact that there is a very noticeable repeti-
tion of design disproves any such idea. That most of them are bored shows that they
were meant for suspension, but were they seals, it is quite certain they would have been
given some stiff and permanent setting. Gold rings like those found at Mycenae, or
others of less valuable material, might (so far as usability is concerned) — except for
the other reasons I have adduced — be called seals. Such rings, however, form but
an infinitesimal division of the whole class of these objects. If they were not seals,
what were they ? Probably, in the majority of cases, amulets. The fact that they are
bored suits this explanation. They may well have been worn in old times, as they are
still to-day by the women in Crete, hung by a string round the neck. The style of
subject carved upon them is well suited to amulets. Religious scenes, for instance, or
the figures of strange beings are what one would expect on amulets. When we remember
the close relation of animals to deities in ancient times, we see how stones which to our
ignorant eyes present only the picture of a cow or lion may, in every likelihood, have
conveyed a religious and sacred impression to the original owner. Others, too, suggest
from their shape, or size, or carving, that they were merely beads, for it is not at all
likely that all were used in tlie same way. Evans ' in his epoch-marking works shows
reasons to believe that he has found a form of writing on the earliest of these stones.
1 Cretan Pictographs and Prae- Phoenician Script and Further Discoveries of Cretan and Aegean Script.
PRIMITIVE CLASS 345
This, however, is no reason for thinking them to he other than amulets; though no one
has heen ahle to read the signs found hy Evans, and they may possibly he abbreviated
prayers or sacred and evil-averting signs.
There is one more question difficult of explanation, and that is how there came to be
so many stones of this sort at a place hke the Heraeum. I can only suggest the explana-
tion that if these stones were amulets, it may well be that such powerful and sacred ol)jects
were made by the priests, — that they were issued from the temple somewhat as indul-
gences are given out by the Catholic Church. Or it is possible that perhaps after the
death of the owner, or at some such solemn moment, they were dedicated in the temple.
These are, of course, mere hypotheses.
CLASS I. PREHISTORIC OR PRIMITIVE.
Only eight stones of this sort were found (Nos. 1-8). The only carving on them con-
sists of scratches, and they show no trace of true masterly cutting. Similar scratchings
were found by Schliemann on whorls he dug up at Troy, and by other excavators. It is
possible that these lines conveyed some meaning to the original owner of the object, but,
at present, it is impossible to say what it was. Evans ' suggests that certain somewhat
similar carvings found by him stand for letters. None of the examples from the Heraeum
suggest this or anything more than being the haphazard work of an untrained carver.
They seem to be merely attempts to decorate the stones with more or less symmetrical
patterns.
In shape they show some variety, and it is difficult to explain why the makers of these
stones should have been satisfied with such rude carving of designs when they were able
to model the forms so comparatively well.

CLASS II. NEW TYPE— 'ARGIVE.'
The following are stones of a new, or at least very unusual tyjie. There are thirty-
three (Nos. 9-41) of them. They vary considerably in shape : —
1. Hemispherical ; 11 (Nos. 9-19).
2. Button shape ; 4 (Nos. 20-23).
3. Cylindrical; 1 (No. 24).
4. Shield shape ; 1 (No. 25).
5. Rectangular; 8 (Nos. 26-33).
6. Lenticular and lozenge ; 6 (Nos. 34-88).
7. Rectangular and oval with animal on top; 3 (Nos. 39-41).
The designs vary less than the shapes. They fall into three classes : —
1. Human.
2. Animal.
8. Geometric.
Perhaps a fourth class unintelligible ought to be added. The stones are often carved
on all their various surfaces, whether curved or flat. Of the hemispherical group six
have carving only on the flat surface, and the other five have their I'ounded back deco-
rated with zigzags.
The button-shape group contains but one exception (No. 23) to the rule that the speci-
mens of this shape have both of their flat surfaces carved.
The one cylindrical stone has one end carved and the other smooth.
The shield-shaped stone is carved only on the flat surface.
The rectangular group also shows one exception (No. 31) to the same rule.
Three of the five lozenge-shaped stones are carved on both sides ; one on only one.
One is doubtful (No. 36).
Of the animal group, No. 41 is the only example that has more than one surface adapt-
able to carving. In this case the animal is on the edge of the stone and both flat sur-
faces are carved.
On first sight one sees that these stones have little or nothing to do with the tcue
Mycenaean stones with which it seems, from the proximity of the Heraeum to Mycenae,
they might well have had some connection. The few Mycenaean stones that were found
in the excavation are easily differentiated from those of the new class, and that so very
few Mycenaean ones were found appears to be another bit of evidence to show how little
the Heraeum depended on foreign trade for the satisfaction of its needs. The nature of
the carving on the new stones, rude and awkward as it is, is quite unlike that of true
Mycenaean work. Nor did the Mycenaean carvers show any special preference for steatite,
while the subjects which they were fond of representing, such as lions, cows, fish flying,
religious and hunting scenes, do not occur on the Heraeum stones. A few stones of the
same character as those under discussion have been found in other parts of the Greek
world, and they will be noted in connection with the sjjecial specimens to which they bear
the closest resemblance. Further excavation will undoubtedly bring others to light, but
for the present the Heraeum must be considered if not the original source of this work, at
least a place where it was in considerable demand.
One curious point in regard to their discovery which may throw light not only on the
stones themselves but also on the history of the Heraeum is that none were found on the
Old Temple terrace, but all came from the neighborhood of the Fifth-century Temple and
ARGIVE TYPE 347
the majority from the south slojie, — a spot that seems to have been used for the laying
aside of discarded objects. The enormous number of objects of all sorts found in this
one place suggests that it may have been used as a sort of burying-ground for things that
had, for some now unknown reason, become too sacred for such further mortal use as
they had originally served. That there were such burying-grounds is, of course, proved
by the discoveries on the Acropolis of Athens.
Ilemisjjherical. All are bored.
9. Zigzag pattern in different directions over back. Design : man and horse, also irregular
marks to fill space. Diameter, 2.4 cm. Dark red steatite. Found during first year's work.
10. Smooth back. Design : horse and decorative marks. Red steatite. 2 cm. Much rubbed.

perhaps a sword over the horse's head. Slightly fractured. 3 cm. Found in Northwest Building.
13. Smooth back. Design : man liokling something in raised hand ; behind him marks similar
to those Evans ' takes to have to do with a house. Red steatite. Diameter, 1.8 cm. Found dur-
ing first year's work.
14. Zigzags on back. Design : man seated, arms raised. Cf. No. 39. Red steatite with yellowish
streaks. 2.2 cm. Found east of chambers on Second Temple terrace.

blue steatite. 2 cm. Found above east end of Stoa below Cyclopean wall.
16. Smooth back. Design : man standing. There are other marks, but the gem is so broken
they are inexplicable. Light blue steatite. 2.1 cm. Found back of West Building in the large .

17. Elongated hemispherical. Smooth back. Design : two men, perhaps fighting. It suggests
one of the gold rings from Mycenae. Dark red steatite. 3 cm. x 2.5 cm. Found above east end

18. Not absolutely hemispherical. Three divided rows of arrowhead pattern on back. Design :
circle divided into quarters by crossed lines. Each quarter has three ' arrow ' markings one
within the other. Blue steatite. 2 cm. Found during first year's woi-k.

semble any of Evans's pictographic signs, and it is plain from the sureness of the cutting that they
are not haphazard. They are also quite unlike the ordinary space-filling patterns. It is possible
that they represent a horned animal lying down ; the head to the left. Red steatite. Large side,
3.5 cm. X 3.75 cm. Small side, 2 cm. Found east of chambers on Second Temple terrace.

1.1 cm. Found on surface of ground of the Old Temple terrace.
29. Broken along bore-hole, only half found. Both sides and the complete edge engraved.
Design : each side divided into two compartments. When the stone was complete there were
undoubtedly four such divisions. On one side are squares, one within the other, the smallest
having its diagonals drawn. On the other side each division has merely lines drawn parallel to
the diagonal, — those in one division from left to right, the other from right to left. On edge
' arrowhead ' pattern. Red steatite. 4 cm. Found in the deposit at southwest corner of Second
Temple terrace.

cut, but unintelligible (but cf. Evans's sign for a house, Cretan Pictographs,^. 37 [308]). Green
steatite. 5 cm. x 1 cm. (thick). Found near East Building. Another stone very similar to this
one was shown me by Mr. Evans. He obtained it in Delos. It is now, I believe, in the Ash-
molean Museum.
31. Bored, and bit of original bronze fastening still in hole. Both sides engraved. Design :
on one side two men ; one holds branch, other holds weapon (?). The former seems to be clad
differently from the latter. Other side : four compartments, each filled with patterns of straight

CLASS III. 'GEOMETRIC {CIBC. TENTH CENTURY B. C).
The next class of stones to consider are of a type which, though by no means common,
is less strange than that of the preceding stones, and can be dated by external evidence.
It is the ' geometric ' type ; a type that is plainly of the same epoch as the ' geometric '
vases. These show a distinct advance over the earlier stones in being made of harder
material, and in the carving being much stronger and more certain. They show none of
the sketchy and tentative quality of the more primitive work. In shape and material,
too, they vary from the earlier and from Mycenaean work. All are of a fine-grain white
marble, and all are square. One peculiar shape, that of a low truncated pyramid, occurs.
The backs have no firjure design. The bore-hole runs from hack to front, hence these
could not be used as seals.
42. Bored from back to front. Shape : truncated pyramid. Back
smooth. Design : two ' geometric ' figures to right holding branches (?).
Decorative marks. White marble. 3.4 cm. square. (In the Ashmolean
Museum is a stone closely resembling this one ; it was found in Melos in
1894.) The design is of two figures, and between them a branch. Found
at east end of Second Temple terrace, near East Building.
PLATE CXXXIX. (tipper part).
43. Broken at corners. Bored from front to back. Shape : truncated
pyramid. On one sloping side of back are cut circles with dots in their centres. Design : divided
into four equal divisions. Only one, a human figure with space-filling markings, decipherable.
Lower part of human figure in a second division. White marble. Circ. 4.5 cm. Found in West
Building.
44. Fragment. Similar to No. 43. Square, brick shape, not pyramidal. Design in compart-
ments, but destroyed. Human figure visible on left. White marble. Size originally about same as
No. 43. Found at east end of Second Temple terrace, near East Building.
No. 42.
350 engravp:d stones, gems, and ivories
45. Bit of white marble similar to that used for Nos. 41-44. Square, 4.2 em. Edges and both
sides carefully worked. Edges curve very slightly outward, which is not the case in Nos. 41-44.
Possibly an unfinished work. Found near No. 44.
46. Bored from back to front. Back smooth, and edges only beveled very slightly. Design
undecipherable. It seems to be merely decorative, and perhaps is a connecting link between the
preceding and those that follow. Found above Stoa and below Cyclopean wall.
47-51. All bored from back to front. Backs flat and smooth. Design :
decorative (?). White marble. Size: (No. 47) 2 cm.; (No. 48) 2 cm.;
(No. 49) 1.8 cm. ; (No. 50) 2.1 cm. ; (No. 51) 1.8 cm. It is noteworthy
that the cutting of these differs from that of the preceding in being less
angular, and the hollows are curved instead of being sunk to an edge. The
designs of Nos. 47, 48, and 49 are exactly the same. Another stone of this
same sort was bought by me in Athens in the spring of 1898. It is 3.3 cm.
square and fractured at one corner (see adjacent cut).
No. 47 was found near East Building.
Nos. 48, 49, 50, found in deposit back of West Building.
No. 51, found at southeast corner of Second Temple terrace, within the peribolus wall.
CLASS IV. MYCENAEAN.
The Mycenaean stones do not call for special comment. It is, however, noteworthy
that so few stones of this class were found. Considering the proximity of Mycenae, one
might well have expected them to be among the objects often found at the Heraeum.
52. Circular-lenticular. Bored. Design : animal to left and bough over its back. Blue stea-
tite. 2 cm. Found in South Building.
53. Circular-lenticular. Bored. Design : horned animal (bull ?) to right, head turned over
back. Branch vertically in front of animal and below the beast decorative marks. Dark blue
steatite. 1.7 cm. Found in South Building.
54. Circular, flat. Bored. Design : horned animal to right. Red steatite. 1.3 cm. Stone
very much rubbed. Found at southeast corner o£ Second Temple terrace.
55. Fragment of large (probably 3-4 cm. diameter) circular-lenticular stone.
Undoubtedly bored. Cornelian. Design : two cattle to left, the further one turn-
ing head backward. Best Mycenaean work. Place of discovery unknown.
56. Circular, flat. Bored. Design : two fore-quarters of horned
animal joined ; branch in front of one of the animals. Found in
deposit at southwest corner of Second Temple terrace.
57. Circular. Back slightly convex. Bored. Design : anthropomorphic mon-
ster running. White calkspar. 1.3 cm. Found near West Building. ^pp^' /

THE IVORIES
851
THE IVORIES.
Among the smaller antiquities found at the Heraeum were a considerable number of
objects of ivory representing many different purposes, most of which can be easily under-
stood. Some are more difficult to comprehend, and are particularly interesting because
of the similarity they bear to certain of the stones that have been described above.
The use of the following objects is uncertain. They are all of them bored, and this,
taken nito consideration with their peculiar shape (hi section t, ^ ), has led me to
wonder whether they might not have been used as covers of bottles or vases. The fact
that they are carved on both sides does not preclude the possibility of such a use. One
similar bit of worked ivory was found at Olympia {Ohjmpia, 'Bronzen,'p. 188, 1194).
There are several points that are common to all five examples to be noted.' All are
bored. All are engraved on both sides. All are tlie same shape and nearly the same
size. All have a more elaborate border on the smaller side, the larger side having merely
a line. ^
PLATE CXXXIX. {lower paH).
1. Design, Large side : Winged griffin seated to left. Right paw raised. Small side : Lioness
seated, head turned hack, right paw raised. Between front legs star

the paws suggests the early Attic vases. Found at southwest corner
of Second Temple terrace.

COINS FROM THE ARGIVE HERAEUM
COINS FROM THE ARGIVE HERAEUM
By HERBERT FLETCHER DeCOU
The coins described iii the following- list were found in the excavations on the site of
the Argive Heraeum, 1892-1895.
The finding-places are given so far as they are known. When they are omitted, it is
to be assumed that no record exists. Details of finding-place, depth, etc., are not uidi-
cated.
Of the 46 coins of known provenience, 21 come from the West Building, 9 from the
South slope, and 2 from the same neighborhood, i. e. from back of the South Building.
The remainder are from various parts of the excavation. No relations between the
period of the coins and the building in which they were found can be established. It
may, however, be noticed that the Byzantine coins are with one exception probably from
the Lower Stoa (X).
The small proportion (about j^^) of the coins belonging to the period of free Greece
is somewhat remarkable, as well as the fact that for the archaic period Corinth alone is
represented. However, it scarcely needs to be pointed out that the circumstances do not
in this case warrant any conclusions based on negative evidence. For the later period,
in particular, it would be quite futile to attempt to explain the absence of any particular
pieces, and nearly so to explain their presence. Nevertheless, though the coins tell us
nothing about the later history of the Heraeum, or of its condition at the period they
were minted, still in the obscurity which enshrouds the latter days of the sanctuary, even
these slight records of the occasional presence of human beings on the site are not with-
out a certain interest.

ADDENDA TO COINS OF ARGOS.
The following minute pieces, all of which are
of bronze, form a collection which was kept to-
gether among the various objects brought from
the Heraeum to Athens, but there is no record
of provenience either for the collection as a whole
or for the individual pieces. It is therefore un-
certain whether they were found in the same
place, or thrown together later for convenience.
That the objects are coins seems altogether
probable, and that they should be attributed to
Argos is likely from the fact that they come
from the Heraeum, and also from the presence
of A on several specimens.
A rather indefinite criterion of date is afforded
by the fact that all the alphas have the cross-bar
broken. To judge from such material, however,
as has been available, the A has a straight cross-
bar at Argos so long as it stands for the name
of the town, that is to 146 b. C, when the coin-
asre ceases, to be resumed later under Hadrian.
It may be, then, that, though the broken bar was
regular in the monogram of the Achaean League,
we have here a hitherto unknown local coinage
permitted to Argos after the suppression of the
league. That the pieces continued to be issued
under the emperors seems likely from the style
of some of the heads.
JYote. — In the following list the coins with
symbols on the reverse precede those bearing
letters. Within these classes the arrangement
is by the style or form of head, but the minute-
ness and poor preservation of many of the pieces
renders accuracy impossible.

THE EGYPTIAN, OR GRAECOEGYPTIAN, OBJECTS FROM
THE ARGIVE HERAEUM
EGYPTIAN, OR GRAECO-EGYPTIAN, OBJECTS FROM
THE ARGIVE HERAEUM '
By albert MORTON LYTHGOE
The intercourse between Egypt and her neighbors on the north, which we should
expect to trace, first to the nearer islands and then on to Greece itself, has been proved by
recent evidence to have begun at least as early as the XVIth Egyptian dynasty. This
earliest fixed date lies in the finding by Mr. Arthur Evans, in the palace of Cnossos,
of the lid of an alabaster vase inscribed with the names of Khyan, one of a group of
kings who have now been proved beyond all doubt to belong to the intermediate period
between the Xllth and XVIIIth dynasties, and to be in all probability Hyksos.^
The evidence of an earlier intercourse than this between these two centres of civiliza-
tion is yet problematical, in the absence of any earlier material to which an absolutely
certain dating can be given. Types of pottery and otlier objects, similar to the earlier
Aegean types though not identical with them, have been found by Flinders Petrie in the
Xllth dynasty town site of Kahun, and in the royal tombs and old temple of the Isl
dynasty at Abydos ; ^ but in these cases the types themselves lack identification as known
Aegean types, and the evidence of their occurrence is not sufficiently conclusive to war-
i"ant ascribing them to the periods in apparent relation to which they were found. Until
known material of this character comes to hand, which can be dated firmly by its occur-
rence, under undisturbed conditions, with fixed Egyptian types, we can hardly go beyond
this earliest date which Crete has now given us.
On the other hand, the evidence of the intercourse between Greece and Egypt from
that date on is conclusive. Beginning with the dated objects of Egyptian origin found
in the Mycenaean sites of Greece and the islands, which prove that period in Greek
civihzation to have been contemporary, in part at least, with the XVIIIth dynasty, the
connection appears to have been interrupted during the disturbed period of the XXIst
to the XXV th dynasties, and then finally, with the influx of Greeks into Egypt in the
XXVIth dynasty, trade and intercourse between the two countries becomes so constant
that they both furnish, from that time on, abundant evidence of their common relation.
It is of this evidence, of the period known as the Late New Empire, — the XXVIth and
succeeding dynasties previous to the conquest by Alexander, — that the Egyptian objects
from the Heraeum are a part, and objects of identically the same character have been
found also at Eleusis,* Aegina,^ and Camirus," and in Egypt itself at Naukratis.^ In fact,
it is this Greek colony of Naukratis, which rose to great importance under the privileges
granted it by Amasis (569-526 b. c), and which, as the capital of the Egyptian Greeks,

If we start with the fact that at Naukratis itself examples were found of nearly all the
types which have come from the Greek sites named, and that the examples of each type,
tliongh coming from places widely separated, are in many cases so closely identical
that they might almost have been cast in the same moulds, then we must surely look to
Naukratis as their common source. We find, for example, that the series of scarabs from
the Heraeum (Plate CXLIII. Nos. 1 to 39) have their counterparts in those from Nau-
kratis' and also in those from Aegina (Plate CXLIV. Nos. 1 to 6) ; similarly, the
figures of Apollo from the Heraeum (Plate CXLHI. 51 and CXLIV. .53) duphcated
at Naukratis ' ; the figure of Bes (Plate CXLIII. 47) also occurring at Aegina (Plate
CXLIV. 10) ; and the two whorls (Plate CXLIV. 58 and 59) reproduced in one from
Aegina (Plate CXLIV. 8). With such a repetition in so limited a range of subjects,
the source of them all cannot be a matter of doubt. There were found at Naukratis,
moreover, not only most of the types which are duplicated in these from the Greek
sites, but even the moulds in which certain types of the scarabs, for example, were
cast. That the examples from the Greek sites were not locally made is obvious, and it
is equally clear not only that they must all h^ve been drawn from a common Egyptian
source, but that, from the evidence, that source must be Naukratis, the largest and most
important centre of trade between Greece and her colonists in the Delta.
There not only did the Greeks erect temples and statues to Greek divinities and carry
on the manufacture of Greek pottery, figurines, and other objects of the same types and
in the same manner as in Greece itself, but they became skilled in the arts of Egypt,
and learned to reproduce Egyptian types of deities, Egyptian forms of decoration, and
Egyptian hieroglyphics. In some cases they copied the hieroglyphics correctly, and in
others their errors show clearly they had little knowledge of the language. They learned,
moreover, to work in the materials in common use among the Egyptians, and we find in
greatest number scarabs, vases, and figurines of glazed porcelain. On the scarabs they
not only reproduced Egyptian inscriptions and designs, but they ornamented them with
scenes reminiscent of their own Greek art, as the two running stags, and the stag pur-
sued by a hound (Plate CXLIII. 32 and 33), while in the case of the porcelain figures
they both imitated well-known Egyptian subjects — such as the animals sacred to the
gods, as the cat (Plate CXLIII. 48) and the rabbit (Plate CXLIV. 54), and the
Egyptian divinities themselves, as Bes (Plate CXLIII. 47) — and also introduced their
own Apollo (Plates CXLIII. 51 and CXLIV. 53), here represented as playing on the
double pipe.^
In date this whole class of objects does not vary, but, without a single exception, is
to be assigned to this period of the XXV Ith and following dynasties of the Late New
Empire, when Naukratis was the centre of Greek influence. None of this material from
the Heraeum, or that from any other of the Greek sites mentioned, can be dated more
closely to any particular dynasty or reign, from evidence contained in itself. The only
objects from the Heraeum inscribed with a royal name are the three scarabs (Plate
CXLIII. 17, 18, and 19), the first of which, and possibly the last two also, is inscribed
with the name of Thothmes III., of the XVIIIth dynasty. (See Catalogue below.) None

o£ these, however, date from the reij^n of that king, but rather from this period begin-
ning with the XXVIth dynasty in whicli we have ah-eady inehided them. The well-
known custom in this later period of copying and repeating upon scarabs the names and
titles of the earlier kings is of such common occurrence that we Hnd them even em-
ploying the names of the kings of the Old Empire, — a period when the
inscribed scarab had not yet come into existence. The name of Thothmes
III. seems, however, to occur much more frequently in these later copies
than any other royal name, and in Egyptian cemeteries of this XXVIth
dynasty as many as ten to twenty per cent, of the scarabs have sometimes

III., but is of later Heraeum, but at Camirus and at Eleusis also (Fig. 1).
Apart from these Egyptian, or Graeco-Egyptian, objects from the
Heraeum, which are thus to be grouped in a single class of obviously the same date and
origin, there are in addition two glass scarabeoids (Plate CXLIII. 40 and 41) which,
while seemingly Egyptian in character, need special consideration. They are clearly
Egyptian in form and partly in device, but in style and treatment they belong to a class
of scarabs and scarabeoids which show Asiatic influence, and which have been identified
in general as of Phoenician origin. The extent to which the Phoenicians borrowed
Egyptian forms and imitated Egyptian designs both in metal working and in the engrav-
ing of gems is attested by the considerable number of objects known in which this fact
can be easily identified.' Scarabs and scarabeoids of this class are generally found to
bear a design either purely Egyptian or adopted from the Egyptian, but in rare cases
they actually occur with an inscription in Phoenician characters.^
As to the origin of these two scarabeoids from the Heraeum, Avhether they were made
by Phoenician colonists in the Delta or were brought there by Phoenician merchants and
then exported to Greece, we have no evidence ; but that they are of the same date and
were brought into Greece at the same period as the other objects of Egyptian character
is made certain by the occurrence at Eleusis of a similar glass scarabeoid (Fig. 2), found
under exactly similar conditions, — with some fifteen scarabs of the same character as
these from the Heraeum, one of which is inscribed with the name of Thothmes III. (Fig.
1, referred to above), but is of later date just as is No. 17 from the Heraeum. This
double occurrence certainly disposes of all doubt in the matter of dating these scarabe-
oids, but apart from the fact that they were evidently brought into Greece at the same
period as these other objects we are considering, they are clearly not of the same origin
and not to be classed with them.

Blue-glazed porcelain.
47. Figure of the god Bes. Represented in a
characteristic attitude, as a bearded dwarf, with
long ears, bowed legs, and arms resting on
thighs. He is sometimes represented also with
proti'uding tongue, and dressed in the skin of an
animal, with tail hanging down at the back.
(Cf. Wiedemann, Rd'ujion., pp. 159 ff.)
This figure originally had a crown of feathers,
which has been broken off.
Of blue-glazed porcelain.
There is nothing to prove the generally ex-
pressed idea that this god was one of foreign
origin brought into Egypt at a later period, per-
haps at the beginning of the New Empire.
Amulets in the form of this god are now known
as early as the Vth or Vlth dynasty, and his
worship certainly began as early as that. In the
period of the Late New Empire (to which our
figure belongs) these representations of him be-
came extremely common, and they have been
found at nearly all the Greek sites to which
Egyptian influence sjjread. (Cf. also the one
from Aegina, Plate CXLIV. 10.)
48. Seated figure of a cat.
White-glazed porcelain.
The cat figures in Egyptian art as the sacred
animal of the goddess Bast, the centre of whose
cult was at Bubastis, in the Delta. Innumera-
ble representations of this animal, in bronze
as well as in porcelain, have been found there,
and from its proximity to Naukratis it is easy to
account for the manner in which these figures
have found their way to Greek sites. A similar
figure to this was found at Aegina (cf. Plate
CXLIV. 9).
49. Figure of Ptah, in the form Ptah-Seker-
Osiris, a composite deity, who figures jjrincijjally
as a god of the dead. As such he is represented
as here, as a squatty figure crowned with feathers,
and with bowed legs and hands on his hips.
Blue-glazed porcelain.
50. Figure of a deity (?), bearded and with
the heavy wig falling down before the shoulders.
Originally crowned with some attribute, now
missing.
Blue-glazed porcelain.
51. Figure of the " Apollo " type, represent-
ing the god as playing on the double pipe.
Blue-glazed poi'celain.
This motive, of playing on the double pipe,
occurs in Egyptian art in mural paintings of the
XVIIIth dynasty and onwards, in scenes of feast-
ing and dancing (cf. Erman, Life in Ancient
Egypt, p. 250), but is unknown in the case of
faience or bronze figures. Figures of this type
are solely the product of Graeco-Egyptian art,
and were first identified at Naukratis (see above).
Another example was also found here at the
Heraeum. (Plate CXLIV. 53.)
52. Figure similar in type to No. 51, which
may possibly represent one of the other tyjjes of
Apollo identified at Naukratis. (Cf. Naukratis,
I. § 17.)
Blue-glazed porcelain.
The figure is represented with the heavy wig,
broadening out over the ears and falling behind
them on the shoulders. In feature this type has
nothing in common with Egyptian art of the
period, the long face narrowing down at the chin
and the eyes protruding from their sockets being

strongly characteristic, rather, of contemporary
Greek art. These same characteristics appear
also in Nos. 46 and 51, and they are all un-
doubtedly duo to one and the same influence.

53. Same motive as in No. 51. Apollo playing
on the double pipe.
Blue-glazed porcelain.
54. Figure of a hare, recumbent.
Blue-glazed porcelain.
As a hieroglyphic word -sign, the hare has the
value wen — 'to be.' It is the conmion desert
hare of Egypt, and is generally represented, as
here, with greatly exaggerated ears (cf. Griffith,
Hieroglyphs, pi. i. 2). This animal was sacred
to Osiris Wen-nefer, and votive figures anil
amulets in this form are very common.
55. Fragment : form undeterminable.
Blue-glazed porcelain.
56. Fragment of a porcelain vase, blue-glazed.
The ornamentation consists of a double band
moulded in relief ; the upper, of perpendicular
parallel lines between two horizontal ones, and
the lower, of a series of rectangles, each with a
circle at the centre, separated by two perpen-
dicular lines.
Both of these forms are well-known Egyptian
ones, and occur regularly as border patterns in
wall-decoration and the like. (Cf. Petrie, Deco-
rative Art, figs. 186 and 194.)
57. Fragment of a vase, with decoration simi-
lar to the upper band on No. 56.
Blue-glazed porcelain.
58. Porcelain whorl, blue-glazed. In shape,
like two truncated cones base to base, and with
a hole through centre
perpendicularly. (Fig.
3.) Decoration, on both
sides, of a rosette. This
form of ornament, the
rosette, is one of the
commonest in Egyptian
art at all periods, but it
is often so conventionalized that it is difficult
to determine its derivation. In this form, with
broad, round-ended petals, it has been identified
by Petrie (Decorative Art, pp. 56-58) as the
daisy, and by Borchardt (^PJlanzensdule, p. 4,
note 1) as the chrysanthemum coronaritim.
Among the objects from Aegina, however, is the
cover of a kohl pot in blue-glazed porcelain
(Plate CXLIV. 7), which, with its centre in
relief, certainly represents the daisy; and it

Whorl.
would seem, from the more coiumou occurrence
of the daisy, that that would more likely have
been taken as a motive.
It also occurs with petals with pointed ends,
as, for example, on another whorl from the He-
raeum (Plate CXLIV. 59), but in such cases
it is certainly derived from another source.
One of the earliest occurrences of the rosette
is the eight-petaled form on the headband of
the statue of Nefert, of the IVth dynasty, from
Medum, now in the Cairo Museum, and we find
it employed afterwards in innumerable ways, —
not only as an ornament on sculpture, but, in
combination with other patterns, as a border-
pattern in wall-painting (cf. Petrie, op. cit. figs.
125, 126), as a motive in ceiling decoration (cf.
Wilkinson, Ancient Egyptians, 2d ed. I. pi.
viii.), in the glazed-porcelain tile decoration of
Tell el-Amarna (cf. Petrie, Tell el-Amariia, pis.
xiii. ff.), and the similar decoration of the palace
of Rameses III. at Tell el-Yahudieh (cf. Hayter-
Lewis, in Trans. Soc. Bill. Arch. vol. vii.). It
likewise occurs as a pattern in the cloth and
leather coverings of royal thrones (cf. Wilkin-
son, op. cit. I. Frontispiece), in bead-work (cf.
Garstang, £1 Arahah, pi. xxii.), and in decora-
tive metal-work, as in the silver bowls from
Mendes, now in the Cairo Museum (cf. Maspero,
llamial -Egypt. Arch. figs. 285 and 286).
59. Porcelain whorl, blue -glazed, of same
shape as No. 58. Here the decoration consists of
a flower with petals sharply pointed, — a form
which occurs constantly and has been identified
with certainty by Borchardt as derived from the
nym-phaea cuervlca (cf. Pjlanzensilule, p. 12).
60. Fragment of a group of two figures, in
blue-glazed porcelain. The right figure is male,
and the left female, with breasts clearly pro-
nounced. They are represented side by side, a
position which occurs so frequently in Egyptian
sculpture, both in standing and seated groups of
husband and wife. Each has the heavy wig, —
which here shows traces of having been originally
colored black, — falling down behind the ears
upon the shoulders, while on the right breast of
the female figure are two black dots, as if a neck-
lace had been represented.
61. Base and lower part of a haK-kneeling
figure, of blue-glazed porcelain.
Represented kneeling on the left knee, with
right knee raised and foot squarely on base. It
is the position of one about to rise, or to upraise
